Hi! Below is my August’24 report!

In August, I resolved 928 (↑341) tickets:


The focus of my work is to help Russian-speaking users of Tor to install the browser and bypass internet censorship. In August, internet censorship in Russia became more strict, with YouTube and Signal being blocked[0], as well as many Tor bridges. So we received more tickets than usual: + 341 compared to July 24 - the growth or decrease by category can be seen above.

Tor is reachable with bridges in Russia, and I updated and posted the instructions for Russian users on the Forum [1].

We got a lot of questions from iOS users from Russia about what app they should use.

Also, I helped users with troubleshooting and keep an eye on issues and bugs to report them to Tor developers.

In August I submitted a copy/paste issue in Tor Browser [2], and continued to monitor the issue with Tor Browser not working on some of the Samsung devices [3].
