anti-censorship proxy and pluggable transports for Tor

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Snowflake is a pluggable transport that can be used for Tor, usually for accessing the network when a user is on a connection with only partial internet access. It uses WebRTC negotiations for NAT traversal to connect to mostly short-lived volunteer proxies. These proxies can either be provided by running a web browser extension or a standalone proxy. Users behind restrictive access can use snowflake as a bridge, e.g. by configuring it in Tor Browser. Technical information is in https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/wikis/Technical%20Overview This package provides a standalone proxy, for those who would like to use their internet connection to provide access to others via this protocol, and pluggable transports for Tor to allow using snowflake proxies.
