Request obfs4
by Ahmet Orakov 15 Aug '23

15 Aug '23

Hi everyone, I would want to test obfs4 bridges if you have them already properly configured. Please consider sharing bridges with me and I will definitely inform you about the results. We assume that the government of Turkmenistan managed to block all the currently listed obfs4 bridges on the different platforms. Feel free sending me bridges for testing purposes. Best regards, Ahmet

meek on Fastly/Akamai/other CDN
by ValdikSS 31 Jul '23

31 Jul '23

Hello, I found Meek-azure deprecation plan on anti-censorship team's gitlab. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/team/-/issues/33 From what I see in desktop Tor Browser, only meek-azure is available as a meek transport, and with its deprecation I assume no other meek transports would be available. As the deprecation is caused by removing domain fronting support on Azure, are there any plans to setup meek on other CDN providers which still support fronting, such as Fastly or Akamai?

Turkmenistan's tor users want you to change bridge's port addresses
by Ahmet Orakov 10 Jun '23

Hi, Turkmenistan authorities have been blocked almost all the networking ports. We want you to contact bridge operators and ask them to change ports of their bridge's to 8080 (available in our case) which I provide you below: Recently, most of the western and european media sites came under blocking in Turkmenistan. #Freedom to Ukraine #Glory to Heroes 808301E9950E572EBE79980285E8E7D78B16A618 cert=86M38pylZayLk2VKcizQg8w3GNFu5ZdFWW/MBS/ZCQ7AqjUiydamhscfhMFeTWtx2AULAQ iat-mode=0 B7E8B832F055435293840D69FE476AA6143C0449 cert=X2IIgewaeED2fctW8uSAd9NTsq8fP3uhsm7yS6QUC3k/NdXvEMtJelEz/t3X5SnmFCnHJQ iat-mode=0 7DC107121C944199FBF986F61A590B5911BCFD14 cert=OvTYJaLQNjv8cJ4Vj002aIhzBkP1LZSqFoU6nd5DBEyUnb2yCsAr0vvScUBsKotZ+E3SYw iat-mode=0 6C11CE58EA4D4C3C7EC078EBDC9D7D8961A58699 cert=q9W7JYmdRvQqs9MEa7rAKU5iNiu5zKtkyJPVH5aH61QRgcTrjtom58EoDnTnnlc37xNZPQ iat-mode=0 336BC480CB125457C0750840F3066AA3A547FCF1 cert=JcieuQi1sZw807G/GJUXdaTaQpECLwKAx72EUJLpGq/ofVPx8Z6ZCOY93YxCptmbq5PjMw iat-mode=0 9F0900762FEF3552F5E7617A6B52558B8BB2CAF0 cert=DX1Pchtj4I2EXhkQN1yryMl/6m8BlypZ+OH/Jj0Vo1yOIiAvun2sx1iEmdSkTgMrp4jUNw iat-mode=0 701BECA6C592D1168DDAD86FF50396629A0719A7 cert=T1JXGjxYb/gMfkqutgYylGC/seenQXw3xAgPP6sBWjczqQWCB2TIrrsokBBw3aoo208JUw iat-mode=0 7DE375B51781A17D247DB34A232AA7601BE1D706 cert=fYYGpWdrQrm3ulRuNP0yM97fTt0ZB5jWaUli9R8wmPzAuw0XfR85nnnRkXHIdYkUA3F5ew iat-mode=0 32A6ED70E38B4756F73AA6949A1ADC12F8076C67 cert=HbGyA+dK07sXAtwZqrJYgJhZw0+KiChGm6k0LLsVpaVEZr4NWpAPPK40/QWydBiqiD6dRg iat-mode=0 26E7ADAFD8ACB33A5696C74C8C8A6D6FDBB7CED6 cert=CaXOuzZW4ey7n/XpHw7mNHcKJiabY9HKgzM6K9jdUkkwq+PBR+aeDqrH1bOObbLwEOpzdw iat-mode=0 We appreciate your efforts!

I did a small search online and then found the Snowflake Mobile repo. We would be interested to hear more about the current status of the app and its development and to discuss potential for collaboration. best regards, Rik -- Rik ViergeverPublic Affairs, Partnerships and Fair Tech +31 (0) 6 4289 3639 rik.viergever.ext(a)murena.com www.murena.com PGP: go to https://keys.openpgp.org and search for my email address

deprecation of git.torproject.org and obfs4proxy fork
by meskio 31 May '23

31 May '23

Hello, git.torproject.org is being deprecated in favor of gitlab[0]. We have moved all our projects to gitlab, and configured redirections in git.torproject.org[1]. If you use any of those repos please configure your git remote to use the gitlab one from the anti-censorship project: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/ We've being maintaining a fork of obfs4proxy, as some of the changes we need are not accepted by upstream[2]. As part of that reorganization of repositories we have renamed our obfs4proxy fork to lyrebird. So there will not be confusion between the original obfs4proxy project and Tor's fork: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/lyre… We are conscious that moving to gitlab opens up the space to more attack vectors, to reduce the need of trust on gitlab infraestructure we are working on a commit signing proposal: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/team/-/issues/8 Let me know if any of those changes are a problem to you and how can we help.

Port updation to 8080 is required for these bridges
by Ahmet Orakov 25 May '23

25 May '23

Hi, Please consider contacting bridge operators and ask them to change ports of these bridges to 8080. Turkmenistan's tor users need your help! Turkmenistan blocked almost all the networking ports, except the common ones (80, 8080) and to bypass censorship I want you to change ports of these bridges, cause the provided ports already have been blocked in Turkmenistan. 1714FC03DE40EAD9EDF20A10CAACDF6B6DFCF677 32A6ED70E38B4756F73AA6949A1ADC12F8076C67 A8E56244D112204C8632042AA776BC38D471285E Best regards, Ahmet. tor user

Turkmenistan's tor users want you to change ports to bypass censorship
by Ahmet Orakov 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

Hi, Authorities in Turkmenistan have already blocked almost all the networking ports, a few of them still alive. Please consider contacting relay operators in order to change port addresses of these bridges to 80, 8080 or 443 which I indicated below 6FC0828C5F2BF7231EF237184B168E1A55AFFDAE C60CAF61C9210E5BBF8FCEEF63D7638ED00092CD 1948FEF52897F6A25E456B7DB9C2D37EFB7250C1 7E59CD3DA76A403665ED162243327E6AE255411C DE131D27860718A95CF691948BC36FA16187DB2B CDA13CF52FFF3A70AEFB3A793B16DC2A63406531 3F32DE3EEAEDB3FC05AD8D42FFEF81FB930948DF 2C89244A2E4DE454D06DDBCEB239B233109A73A7 3E073BB0DDB25C7098DF00F49CC7186CC735203C B7E8B832F055435293840D69FE476AA6143C0449 035320676E125E1F85C68B1461E649DC7DA30C84 Best regards, Ahmet tor user from Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan's tor users face mass bridge blocking
by Ahmet Orakov 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

Hi, I'm Ahmet who actively spread active bridges (in our case) across the Turkmenistan. Recent days we face mass blocking and it create issues to surface freely on the internet. Authorities in Turkmenistan intend to restrict us from using tor browser and any other programs which can give access to the external world with the help of modern firewall equipment. Our team have managed to find reachable tor bridges, but problem remains on bridge's ports cause government in Turkmenistan blocked almost all the networking ports. Even reachable bridges by pinging may not often connect to the tor browser because of the port issue. Here is a few available ports which stay unblocked in Turkmenistan's case: 22, 53, 80, 8080, 443, 993, 995, 9999. Here is the full list of reachable bridges with port issue, and changing it's ports will help us to gain access to the external world. obfs4 108.31.127.213:8525

Identify from which continent people connect from
by mxz+tor-anti-censorship-team＠mxzero.de 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Hi, a while ago (10.02.2023) I tried to send an email on the tor-talk mailing list but apparently it never got through as it's still awaiting approval. (it wasn't denied either, afaik) So, I'll try my luck here as this is sort of censorship related, too. Copy and paste of the email: --- Hi, recently, there was an interesting side note on the cryptography mailing list [1]. Quote: > (People have written code to predict what continent an anonymous person using Tor is on, based on noticing over a period of time when their remote system clocks ran faster or slower, assuming that was caused by nighttime versus daytime temperatures.) I was wondering if any of you know about this and where I could find code that does this? Any links to research and papers would be highly appreciated, too. Especially, I'm wondering how they do this: - via differences in the above mentioned system clock (impressive?!) - timing analysis with latency? things like lower latency in Europe as there are more tor relays around compared to Argentina. - do you need to have any prerequisites? e.g. controlling at least one node, or the exit node, or a "clear text" server/hidden service that someone connects to? Finally, if that's the wrong list, please refer me to the right one. Thanks! [1]: https://www.metzdowd.com/pipermail/cryptography/2023-February/038109.html
