Hi everyone, This is what we've been up to during July and August! Snowflake ========= * Adjusted Snowflake session layer parameters for better performance. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf... * Added support for an AMP cache rendezvous to Snowflake. It is not being used yet, but is available if needed as an alternative to domain fronting rendezvous. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf... * Updated the web proxy for new browser requirements. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf... * Made the Snowflake client accept configuration in the form of SOCKS arguments (in preference to command-line options). This makes it easier to control the configuration in frontends such as Tor Browser's. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf... * Assign proxies based on their client load https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf... * Wait pollInterval in snowflake between proxy offers https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf... * Improved Snowflake documentation and READMEs https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...
