+ <p><em>This week, we're highlighting a guest blog post by Glencora Borradaile.</em></p>
+
+ <p>After 4 years of giving digital security trainings to activists and teaching a course called "Communications Security and Social Movements", I've compiled all my materials into an open, digital book - <a href="https://open.oregonstate.education/defenddissent/">Defend Dissent: Digital Suppression and Cryptographic Defense of Social Movements</a> hosted by Oregon State University where I am an Associate Professor. The book is intended for an introductory, non-major college audience, and I hope it will find use outside the university setting.</p>
+
+ <p>It should be no surprise that Tor is a star of Defend Dissent. The anonymity that the Tor technology enables turns the internet into what it should be: a place to communicate without everyone knowing your business. As a professor, I love teaching Tor. It is a delightful combination of encryption, key exchange, probability and threat modeling. <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/book-defend-dissent-with-tor">Find out more about Defend Dissent on our blog</a>.</p>

+ <p><strong>What is Domain Shadowing?</strong><br />
+ Domain shadowing is a new censorship circumvention technique that uses Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) as its leverage to achieve its goal, which is similar to domain fronting. However, domain shadowing works completely differently from domain fronting and is stronger in terms of blocking-resistance.</p>
+
+ <p>Compared to domain fronting, one big difference among many is that the user in domain shadowing is in charge of the whole procedure. In other words, the complete system can be solely configured by the user without necessary assistance from neither the censored website nor an anti-censorship organization.</p>

+---
+body:
+## Starting July 15, Tor will no longer support v2 onion services
+
+https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline
+
+If you are an onion site administrator, you must upgrade to v3 onion services as soon as possible.
+
+As we announced last year, v2 onion services will be deprecated and obsolete in Tor 0.4.6.x. As of April 2021, Tor Browser Alpha uses this version of Tor and v2 addresses no longer work in this and future versions of Tor Browser Alpha.
+
+When Tor Browser stable moves to Tor 0.4.6.x in October 2021, v2 onion addresses will be completely unreachable.
+
+Why are we deprecating v2 onion services? Safety. Technologies used in v2 onion services are vulnerable to different kinds of attacks, and v2 onion services are no longer being developed or maintained. The new version of onion services provides improved encryption and enhanced privacy for administrators and users.
+
+It's critical that onion service administrators migrate to v3 onion services and work to inform users about this change as soon as possible.
