TorBirdy (HTTP Proxy) [GSoC 2016]
by Prakhar Pratyush 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Hello, My name is Prakhar Pratyush. I've been working on this project- "Make TorBirdy Better (HTTP Proxy)" for a few days. I have tried to understand the project and I would like to discuss a few things. At present, what TorBirdy does is- it configures ThunderBird to access the internet through a proxy SOCKSv5 server provided by Tor Bundle. So, are we trying to design an standalone HTTP Proxy which will directly connect to Tor network entry point without needing entire Tor bundle or are we … [View More]

Questions regarding the future of families
by Brian "redbeard" Harrington 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

For a few months I've been tracking this ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6676 Regarding the state of family support. I've been working on a project which could be used to expand the number of running relays and have been trying to find the best way to coordinate this so as to make it both obvious who the operator is (which can be done with contact info) as well as to help users avoid building circuits within these related nodes. In the vein of "playing nicely" with … [View More]

HI, My name is Alex and I am looking forward in collaborating with you. I am particularly interested in working for Tor messenger but sadly things seemed a little unclear to me and the existing code here [1] didnt help me at all. If I got it right you want the messenger to be written in Node.js and use a lib like nw.js or electron to package and distribute it. Am I looking at the wrong direction?
