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.
