Hi all,

Our June report is already on the blog (including a Chinese translation): https://blog.torproject.org/anti-censorship-june-2020 ...but I forgot to send it to this mailing list. Here's what we accomplished in June 2020:

Snowflake =========

* Snowflake is now available on Android for alpha versions of Tor Browser: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/30318

- Started working on a UI that lets users add custom STUN, broker, relay URLs: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...

- Implemented relaying data back and forth between client and Tor relay: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...

- Establishing a connection with WebSocket. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...

- Handling connection termination or failures from WebRTC. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...

- Establishing a connection with the client using WebRTC. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...

- Created a service to do the work in the background and implemented a wakelock. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/34268

- Chose libraries for the project: Google's WebRTC library for WebRTC, Retrofit for HTTP calls, OkHttp for WebSocket, RxJava for reactive programming.

* Implemented NAT discovery for Snowflake clients. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...

* Investigated and abandoned attempts to do NAT discovery for browser-based proxies. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...

BridgeDB ========

* Added a favicon to bridges.torproject.org. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/bridgedb/-/issues/19774

* Added a feature that allows us to blacklist bridges that run a given set of Tor versions (e.g., if they suffer from problematic bugs). https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/bridgedb/-/issues/29184

* Cleaned up and rebased a patch that updates BridgeDB's dependencies. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/bridgedb/-/issues/33647

* Made progress towards getting BridgeDB to parse and take into account bridge blocking information. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/bridgedb/-/issues/34260
