Hi everyone,

The Tor Cloud project gives you a user-friendly way of deploying bridges
to help users access an uncensored Internet. By setting up a bridge, you
donate bandwidth to the Tor network and help improve the safety and
speed at which users can access the Internet.

Setting up a Tor bridge on Amazon EC2 is simple and will only take you a
couple of minutes. The images have been configured with automatic
package updates and port forwarding, so you do not have to worry about
Tor not working or the server not getting security updates.

To help new customers get started in the cloud, Amazon is introducing a
free usage tier. The Tor Cloud images are all micro instances, and new
customers will be able to run a free micro instance for a whole year.

See https://cloud.torproject.org/ for more info, and let me know if you
have any questions.
