Inquiry Regarding the Deprecation of Azure CDN (azureedge.net)

Subject: Inquiry Regarding the Deprecation of Azure CDN (azureedge.net) Dear [Recipient's Name or Anti-Censorship Team], I hope this email finds you well. I came across the discussion regarding the early deprecation of Azure CDN services (azureedge.net) by Edgio/Verizon and its replacement with Azure Front Door (azurefd.net) I understand that this unexpected change poses significant challenges for users and services relying on domain fronting for critical operations. The shutdown highlights the need for reliable alternatives during such transitions. Could you provide further insights or recommendations for mitigating service disruptions, especially for those still using snowflake-broker.azureedge.net or similar configurations? Additionally, any updates regarding the migration process to Azure Front Door would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I also recommend visiting my website, https://tmsimreg.ph/, for helpful resources and discussions related to similar transitions. Thank you for your time and efforts in addressing these challenges. I look forward to your guidance. Best regards, Leandro tmsimregph(a)gmail.com

Mac app / Safari extension for Snowflake
by David Fifield 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

Browsing through some search results, I found: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/torproject-snowflake/id1597501940 (https://web.archive.org/web/20220222083316/https://apps.apple.com/us/app/to…) https://github.com/jayluxferro/snowflake It looks like a repackaging of the Snowflake JavaScript proxy code for Mac and Safari environments. Maybe we could get in touch with the developer and find a way to adopt it into the main repository?

SQS rendezvous exceeded free tier usage
by Cecylia Bocovich 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

I got a notification from AWS that our SQS rendezvous service exceeded the free-tier usage this month with over 1,000,000 SQS API requests. This is in some sense exciting news, because it shows that the rendezvous channel is effective and getting some use. It does, however mean that we will have to start paying for the service. The current billing period falls on month boundaries, from January 1st to January 31st. The budget action fired on January 9th, which is pretty early in the month. Looking at our broker metrics[0,1], there were approximately 38,608 client polls using SQS. That's approximately 2.5 requests per poll, which is about what I'd expect. It's reassuring to know that the budget actions work. I'm going to set them a little higher, to something I can reasonably afford. I don't yet know how the cost will scale with the number of polls, and how that will compare with the cost of domain fronted requests.
