🚨 The Snowflake network is currently overloaded and we need more Snowflake proxies.

If you have spare bandwidth or available servers, please consider running Snowflake proxies.

We urgently need more Snowflake proxies to help handle this surge and ensure that users can continue to access the open Internet.

Please share this call with your friends, communities, hackerspaces and anyone who may be able to help!

@ggus
Was running one using #Orbot kindness mode but it seemed to make my phone hot and my battery run down fast. Bug? Any advice? Currently on 17.8.0-RC-3-tor-0.4.8.21
Also, is it worth enabling for mobile data or is that intensive on data?

Was thinking of running one on an RPi but since we have a static IP maybe not as effective? Is a regular bridge better?

@light yes, snowflake can be very intensive, I'd not recommend running only on your mobile data.

If you have a static IP address, an obfs4 or webtunnel bridge might be better.

@ggus
Is obfs4 good for Iran?

@light yes, it works in some ISPs.
