7 am.. I updated and activated the snowflake proxy vm around 2 am and I'm glad it's doing its job once again.
It won't be much, but it's the least I can do. Bridge and relays are out of the question cos I can't port forward and webtunnel requires my own webpage, which I don't have.
I'm only running one instance and I have unrestricted NAT. I will keep running this for as long as my home server exists.
I've tried making an obfs4 bridge all day and sadly it didn't work. The router here doesn't seem to have a port forwarding option.
I wouldn't want to become a relay cos that'd expose my IP and we only live here temporarily, plus I think that also requires port forwarding.
So the only option I have is... snowflake. Webtunnel requires a webpage but I don't have one so yeah...
I have to do some refresher about snowflake though. I've completely forgotten about it.

Having chatted with @adisonverlice for quite some time I can really see a lot of #pain and #frustration when it comes to #accessibility of @torproject / #Tor as well as @guardianproject / #Orbot.
This seems like something #TorProject and #GuardianProject need to really work on, cuz #privacy should not be limited to people being able-bodied...
worth a gander:
The Tor Project Just Gaslit Their Entire User Base

> "Developer statements from October 2024 and April 2025 prove they intentionally removed OS spoofing, leaving users' real operating systems exposed in HTTP headers and server logs. This change particularly impacts security-conscious users who disable JavaScript, as HTTP headers were their last line of defense against identification."
Oniux gives you an easy way to use Tor isolation for every command / app (Linux only)

Du schreibst auch, dass die sog. #InitiativeFürEinenHandlungsfähigenStaat das #Providerprivileg abschaffen will. Und dass das denjenigen Ini-Gründern, die mal Teil der Bundesregierung waren, früher hätte einfallen können. Klingt, als fändest du das eine gute Idee.
Ich bin kein Jurist und denke bei Providerprivileg vor allem an die #Störerhaftung, die es überhaupt erst praktikabel macht, dass Internet-Provider ihrer Arbeit nachgehen können, ohne jedes transportierte Byte selbst auf seine Rechtmäßigkeit prüfen zu müssen. Ehrenamtlich betriebene Netze wie #Freifunk und Anonymisierungsdienste wie das #TorProject sind ohne Störerhaftung undenkbar.
Wenn ich euren Quellen zum Providerprivileg folge, lande ich letztlich bei einem Telepolis-Artikel, in dem vom #Plattformprivileg die Rede ist, das dafür sorgt(e), dass Social-Media-Konzerne nicht für die Beiträge ihrer User haften. Ist das nicht etwas anderes? Meines Wissens werden diese Plattformpflichten inzwischen im DSA geregelt – mit Ausnahmen für kleine Anbieter.
Es muss doch eine bessere Quelle als Telepolis geben? Meine Versuche, die Begriffsverwirrung mit Hilfe von Wikipedia und LTO aufzulösen, haben bisher nichts gebracht.
I am running a #TorProject #Snowflake proxy "farm" at home with 3 #Debian servers
This is SRV01:
Started to run a #Snowflake as browser add-on again to help circumvent internet censorship. Although I am not so sure if it's necessary since there is not so much going on in terms of connections.

New Privacy Guides article 
by me:
If you are not sure what Tor is,
this article is for you 
If you want to tell your friends
how important Tor is,
this article is for them too
If you want to read about how fundamental Tor is not only to the privacy community, but to everyone who needs its protection,
this article is for this as well
Thank you @torproject

Many people have heard of Tor in the media, but despite its long history of protecting the free internet, most consider it a niche tool and have never ventured to try it themselves.
In reality, Tor is easy to use for anyone. It helps not only journalists and activists, but anybody who seeks greater privacy online or access to information regardless of location.
What is Tor exactly? How can Tor help you? And why is it such an important tool? Staff writer @Em0nM4stodon explains in the latest Privacy Guides article: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/04/30/in-praise-of-tor/
