### AI overview

Snowflake Volunteer is an open-source Android app that lets people run a Snowflake proxy to help others access the Tor network where it is blocked. The article explains installation and configuration options, including limiting operation to Wi-Fi or charging, and points to the source repository, bug reporting, feature requests, and translation work.

### Source excerpt

Snowflake Volunteer is an open-source app that helps others reach the Tor network in places where Tor is blocked. It turns your phone into an anonymous Volunteer proxy, without you having to worry about the technical stuff. Similar to VPNs, which help users bypass Internet censorship, the Snowflake protocol disguises Internet activity as if someone were making a video or voice call, making it less detectable to Internet censors.

### Source excerpt

Chcąc pobawić się tor'em postanowiłem udostępnić jedna z moich stron z wykorzystaniem mechanizmu hidden service. Nie spodobał mi się jedynie sposób generowania nazw, które były mało opisowe - ale najwidoczniej nie mnie jednemu, bo szybko namierzyłem Shallot external link , który generuje kolejne nazwy aż trafi na pasującą do zadanego regexp'a.

### AI overview

The article describes observations of how China's Great Firewall probes and blocks Tor bridges. It reports that detected Tor bridges may have their IP-and-port tuples blocked for hours, while later probing behavior appeared to vary over time and was not fully understood.

### Source excerpt

Fun with The Great Firewall I was playing with the Tor Project and decided to understand how the Chinese block Tor servers. Philipp Winter wrote an amazing paper on that subject. He noticed The Great Firewall of China is actively scanning services and if it detects a Tor bridge it blocks the ip:port tuple for a few hours. TCP/IP When a port gets censored "ACK" packets are dropped by the GFW. Most importantly and .
