Re: [tor-project] meek-azure funding has run out
Dear Team, I have good news, Rabbi Rob Thomas (robt@cymru.com) is going to cover the costs associated with keeping meek alive. So far I have setup 2 new accounts with Amazon and Azure and working to confirm the functionality. https://d183ohpl22nq2f.cloudfront.net/ https://meek.azureedge.net/ Cloudfront is working fine and i'm trying to resolve issues with the Azure CDN. Is there a ticket I can update with these details? I think I should also bring up a backend server (bridge) and share the new config lines for the Tor Browser Bundle. I'm hoping to get all this done by Monday or sooner. Thank you David for keeping this service operational for so long and thank you Rob for keeping it alive!

Hey David. How much money do we need for 2017?
The total for meek-azure November 2015 to November 2016 was $6290.69, or about $525 a month on average. I believe it could go 2× or higher if we relaxed rate limits. meek-amazon is higher, $13756.30 or $1150/month over the same time period.
Has there been any progress on finding alternative funding for this? dcf's comments on trac indicate "no", which would be unfortunate.

Hi all, Hurrah for Rabbi Rob, Lauren, David, Nima, Sina, and the other people who are focusing on this. There are only ~1,200 Tor users in China right now and 5,000 in Iran. Looking forward to Snowflake, localization, and other plans to drive up those numbers. Will tweet about this development (with help) in Chinese, Farsi, and other languages when the time is right. Cheers, Katie Sina Rabbani:

Wow, this is great! Thanks! Do you all have any plans to resurrect the Google AppEngine meek? I've been talking with the NoiseTor people, and they really wanted to help with meek costs in some way, and also they think they collectively know enough Googlers to get that re-set up (and potentially have bandwidth donated). -- ♥Ⓐ isis agora lovecruft _________________________________________________________ OpenPGP: 4096R/0A6A58A14B5946ABDE18E207A3ADB67A2CDB8B35 Current Keys: https://fyb.patternsinthevoid.net/isis.txt

Once we have the details worked out, I'll make a ticket containing the patch for tor-browser-bundle.git. Here are a couple of past tickets changing aspects of the bridges: https://bugs.torproject.org/16634 https://bugs.torproject.org/17473

I opened a ticket to make the change for meek-azure: https://bugs.torproject.org/21342 I was thinking we should do meek-azure first and later meek-amazon, so as not to have all our eggs in one basket in case of an unanticipated problem.
With the recent releases of Tor Browser 6.5.1 and 7.0a2, Tor Browser users will now be using the new CDN backend and bridge when they select meek-azure. This will be a good time to monitor bridge usage and check if anything unexpected happens. If all goes well, we can queue up meek-amazon for the next release.

The new meek-azure backend seems to be working with no problems. The bridge is picking up users: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/8F4541EEE3F2306B7B9FEF1795EC302F6B84DA... Are we ready to do the same thing for meek-amazon? Let me know and I'll file a ticket.
Dear David and Team, I have the Amazon CDN up and running, however today when i tried to test it I realized that the backend bridge which is operated by klaus.layer@jama.is is down. I sent a note to both David and Klaus to learn more. We are happy to also provide the bridge for the amazon front, I am waiting to hear back so I know what my next step should be. All the best, Sina p.s. This is the bridge line that was working a couple of months ago:
