🚨 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!

I operate a tor relay, but am not familiar with this. Can I run this on the same machine with a tor relay? How much additional burden will this bring on the server? Will I need more hardware, more bandwidth?

@shadowdancer from the post FAQ:
"Q: I’m operating a Tor relay, can I run a Snowflake proxy on the same IP?
A: It might not be helpful for censored users as Tor relays are
frequently blocked on censored regions."

If you can run it on a different IP address that would be great!

Ok, however I haven't seen my relay ever being accepted as a guard (idk why), so blocking it might not make that much sense, but then again, who knows what any particular nazi regime decides to block. They might just blanket block all relays regardless of role.

I'll have to see if I'd be able to run Snowflake on my OpenWRT router at my home. Anyone done that?
