@simsus Ja, dass @torproject aktiv blockiert wird durch die #IronFirewall aka. #Roskomnadnozr ist leider nix neues.

Habe deswegen auch oft private #Bridges aufgesetzt, um Leuten zu helfen...

Neben #Tor funktioniert faktisch nur noch #SSH weil #Cybercrime und #ElektronischeKriegsführung seitens #Russland offen gefördert wird.

@torproject And there's only so much bandwith I can donate aka. run a private bridge until that's no longer an option.

So having like a proper #API [even if it requires a #Captcha to solve] would be a godsent.

And no, #moat doesn't solve the demand for getting a #bridge with like parameters like
- IPv4
- Port: 443
- Webtunnel

Espechally when one's bedind the #IronFirewall and can't contact #BridgeDB...

Design a new Bridge Distributor for Tor Browser (#16671) · Issues · The Tor Project / Anti-censorship / BridgeDB · GitLab

From recent discussions in developer meetings and on the mailing lists, it is planned that there should be some API/mechanism for Tor Browser to retrieve bridges from BridgeDB....

You know #Russia is raising the #IronFirewall hard when almost 50% of all your #Snowflake users are from the last 5 days and before that you rarely had single digits per week...

I guess I've to spin up some private @torproject #Bridges soon as well.

If anyone needs help at setup, let me know...
I'm available for consulting...

@Mae Yeah... Putin's #IronFirewall basicall blocks everything but #Tor and #SSH-Tunnels.

@hkrn same with #L2TP & #IPsec, not just #OpenVPN and #WireGuard.

What does however still work through the #IronFirewall is #SSH-Tunneling and @torproject #TorBridges.

#WhatsMissing are more #meek, #webtunnel & #snowflake as well as #obfs4 #Bridges.

Mind you whilst I know how to manually install the #TorExpertBundle into @ubuntu 22.04 LTS doesn't mean that's a practical option and not something one could discreetly teach someone over a wiretapped phone behind the #IronFirewall of #Putin.

I really would love to improve #Tails even if it's just writing documentation and testing stuff, but sadly they've not replied to my request for an account for their #Gitlab:

Since #Putin's #Russia started to Speedrun the Construction of the #IronFirewall like the #GDR did the #BerlinWall, please support your contacts in #Russia by helping them out getting @tails #Tails, @torproject #TorBrowser and #TorBridges setup and running...

Sending over some Bridges may help them...
