A tool for circumventing internet censorship
Features
- People subject to internet censorship can connect without censorship through Snowflake Proxies run by volunteers
- People on an uncensored internet can run a proxy by installing the FF/Chrome extension, or run the command-line version
- To the final destination it appears as a Tor Exit Node, so users don't need to worry about where others connect to through them
- Using the Tor Browser, a request is sent to the Broker using the Domain Fronting technique
- The Broker sends a request to a Snowflake Proxy, gets one, and passes that Proxy to the client
- The client connects to the Snowflake Proxy over WebRTC, then reaches the final destination through a Bridge (Tor Exit Node)
