== Discussion ==
* Lantern and snowflake * lantern is working on a p2p volunteer proxy system similar to snowflake * a highly concurrent client (capable of managing many simultaneous peer connections) that could do N:M multiplexing between downstream and upstream connections * very observable so that it could send lots of status information to the UI * Distributed Snowflake Server Support will be included in Tor Browser Testing Channel(Alpha) Soon: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/merge_req... * snowflake-01 got 20% increase of usage the last 24h, after being stable for few weeks * PT args size issue: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/team/-/issues/104

Itchy Onion: 2022-11-03 Last week: - Increase the number of snowflake proxies spawned in RACE and ran it against the CI test. I was able to pass every time (6 times in total). But since Tuesday I've been having trouble starting a new deployment with Rib. I've been in talk with TwoSix but so far nothing has helped. This week: - Fixed the Rib issue. Now snowflake passes CI tests 100%.
