Snowflake is a system that helps users access censored websites and applications by disguising their internet activity. It operates similarly to VPNs but uses different techniques to transform internet traffic. By redirecting or scrambling internet traffic, it becomes difficult for censors to block access to these circumvention tools without blocking large parts of the internet. Snowflake is available within existing apps such as Tor Browser and Onion Browser, making it easy for users to bypass censorship without the need for a separate application. Snowflake proxies are operated by volunteers, and anyone can contribute by installing and running a proxy. It is a simple and effective way to help people bypass censorship. There are different ways to run a Snowflake proxy, from using a web extension to running a standalone proxy on a desktop or server. If users encounter issues, they can seek support from the Tor support channel or report bugs through the Tor Project GitLab. Snowflake is part of the Pluggable Transports family and is continuously being improved. For those interested in integrating Snowflake into their applications, they can contact the anti-censorship team to learn more.
