do Tor operators outside of the EU need to have, and publicly disclose, an EU rep because of DSA? ("mere conduit")

We're excited to have published a new @torproject WebTunnel bridge hosted by disobey.net!

Details are on https://emeraldonion.org/bridges

back in the top 10!

our tor exit relays seem to be more performant after doubling the RAM from 64GB to 128GB

On this #GivingTuesday, we are launching 10 public @torproject #obfs4 bridges!

We don't expect these bridges to be particularly good at evading #government #censorship since they are in the same IPv4 /24 subnet as our exit relays. Countries like China and Russia undoubtably already block our subnet. However, we think they are a trustworthy (and fast) guard node when configured.

If you'd like to try one of our bridges, we have published them here:

Please consider #donating to U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-deductible #nonprofit Tor network operators before the end of the year:

From @torproject: #tor stable release 0.4.7.15 and 0.4.8.6

"We are today releasing both 0.4.7.15 and 0.4.8.6 with an important fix for onion services regarding congestion control and its reliability. We strongly encourage all onion service operators to upgrade as soon as possible to the latest stable that is the 0.4.8.x series.

We also address the issue with the annoying “compression bomb” log message that some relay operators have been noticing a lot lately.

Important to remember that we are expecting to end of life the 0.4.7.x series in a couple of months (likely around November) after the majority of the network has migrated and Tor Browser stable no longer ships it. That being said, please upgrade to the 0.4.8.x latest stable as soon as you can."
