I discover there are several ways to enter the #Tor network, without using one of the publicly listed (and therefore easily censorable) relays, besides domain fronting.

Project: a software library to implement all these ways, to make life simpler for developers.

Anonymisierungsdienst Tor: Bessere Verschlüsselung "Counter Galois Onion"

Das Tor-Projekt arbeitet an einer neuen Verschlüsselung für den Tor-Circuit-Traffic. Sie soll vor einigen Angriffen schützen.

Please boost!

Good news everyone, NO AI DuckDuckGo has landed in Tor Browser as search engine to choose from.

This makes it much easier for Tor browser users to make the NO AI DDG the default search engine.

Let's make this known to more people to have a choice to avoid using AI.

This will likely be added to Mullvad browser as well.

If you are already using DDG please consider making the NO AI DDG version the default to help save the planet and to let the DuckDuckGo owners know that you do not always want to let AI automatically generate answers even when you did not ask for it. You can still use DDG with AI when you really need it at times.

If you have a public-facing web service and you use #CloudFlare…

Fuck you.

Double fuck you.

Triple fuck you, just for good measure.

(Did I mention that everyone should be using #TorBrowser by default, and servers like yours make it unnecessarily difficult?)

@arstechnica If you dont want to be charged for piracy don't post pirated material on accounts linked to you, use #tor or private social media/messengers like #simplex

I hope next year some more projects move to #Tor .onion space. With all the censorship and aggressive attempts to unmask domain name and site owners it feels like the pressure to do so is building.

The benefits of .onion right now:
- No Certificate Authorities required
- No reliance on DNS
- Much better anonymity

The downsides:
- Really popular sites will need to learn new ways of handling the traffic
- Until @torproject finishes offline key signing of .onion identity keys you risk losing control of your “domain” if your server is compromised and your key is stolen.

I thought porn, like all things Internet, would drive people to Tor but maybe the bandwidth demands are too high. Maybe betting sites that use less traffic? What do you think the site types would be to get some migration going?

The Tor Project announced its annual State of the Onion event, done in two parts, the first on 12 November and the second on 10 December.

I've watched them for the last few years and they are great. Informative, well-prepared reports about impressive projects, all very much grounded in what is happening on and to the internet right now.
