Hiding in plain sight: Introducing WebTunnel

The Tor Project's Anti-Censorship Team is excited to officially announce the release of WebTunnel, a new type of Tor bridge designed to assist users in heavily censored regions to connect to the Tor network.

Defend Internet Freedom with Tor in 2024 elections season

As over 65 elections will happen across the world in 2024, this year stands as the biggest election cycle of this century so far. Internet censorship and surveillance are a threat to the integrity of free and fair elections.

Prepare Yourself Before an Election Cycle ?
During this megacycle of elections, it is possible to defend yourself against online censorship and surveillance. If the elections are coming up in your country, you can prepare yourself by downloading Tor-powered apps like Tor Browser, Onion Browser, Orbot, Tails, and OnionShare. It's important to download these apps before the elections, because the censors can block these websites just before the election day. If you can't connect to Tor and suspect that it's because censors are blocking the Tor network, please contact Tor user support.

Ten years from Snowden revelations – what’s next for Tor and privacy online?

A decade ago, in June of 2013, Edward Snowden risked his freedom to share documents with the press that exposed the extent of the U.S. government’s mass surveillance program. His process required expert operational security and strong assurances of anonymity at every step. That’s why, in part, Snowden turned to the Tor network and Tails, an operating system that routes your computer’s traffic through Tor, in order to communicate with trusted journalists.

Right now, the Tor network, Tor Browser, onion services, Snowflake, and the ecosystem of tools and services built and maintained by the Tor Project are protecting the privacy of millions of people. Because the Tor Project is a nonprofit, this work is powered by donations from our community—by you.

In that vein, today the Tor Project is launching our annual fundraising campaign. This year we’re keeping our message simple: if you value the privacy that Tor provides to yourself or to other people, please make a donation.
??Tor is and will always be free. ??Unrestricted access to the technology we create is part of our mission.But the challenges of 2023 and beyond mean that if you are in the position to donate this year, your support is more vital than ever.
Your support ensures that the Tor Project remains strong on an organizational level, and that the ecosystem of Tor services and tools continue to reach the people who need privacy online the most.

The Russian government is trying to block the Tor network, but users can circumvent this block by using a Tor Bridge or Tor Snowflake.

Download Tor Browser: @gettor_bot

?Call for Testers: Help the Tor Project to test Conjure on Tor Browser Alpha!

We are thrilled to announce that Conjure, a new pluggable transport is now supported in the alpha version of Tor Browser for Desktop and Android. Conjure is an anti-censorship tool that uses refraction networking (aka decoy routing) that will help users to bypass censorship and connect to the Tor network. We need your help to test if Conjure works in regions that the Tor network is blocked.

Your feedback will help us identify issues with this new pluggable transport and ensure its reliability.

What is Conjure?

Conjure is an anti-censorship tool in the refraction networking (a.k.a. decoy routing) lineage of circumvention systems. The key innovation of Conjure is to turn the unused IP address space of deploying Internet Service Providers (ISPs) into a large pool of phantom proxies that users can connect to. Due to the size of unused IPv6 address space and the potential for collateral damage against real websites hosted by the deploying ISPs, Conjure provides an effective solution to the problem of censors enumerating deployed bridges or proxies.

# How to test Conjure

‼️ Important note on risk assessment

Please only download Tor Browser Alpha if you are okay with some things not working properly, want to help us find and report bugs, and are not putting yourself at risk. Be aware that testing a new pluggable transport may call attention of censors.

To participate in this testing program, please follow these steps:

? Desktop

  1. Download and install the latest alpha version of Tor Browser for Desktop (make sure you have a backup of your existing browser setup).
    https://www.torproject.org/download/alpha/

  2. Open Tor Browser and navigate to the Connection preferences window. Or Click on "Configure Connection...".
    Menu > Settings > Connection (about:preferences#connection)

  3. Click on "Add a Bridge Manually". Copy and add the bridge line below in the field.
    conjure 143.110.214.222:80 url=https://registration.refraction.network.global.prod.fastly.net/api front=cdn.sstatic.net

  4. Click "OK" to close the bridge dialog. Finally, scroll up and click on "Connect".

  5. If you see a purple screen "Test. Thoroughly." or if your Tor Browser Alpha was updated, you will see "Tor Browser has been updated”. Then, it means Conjure is working and you can use it for your browsing activities.

  6. Take note of any issues, errors, or unexpected behavior you encounter while trying to connect to Tor using Conjure.
    ? Android

  7. Download and install the latest alpha version of Tor Browser for Android.

  8. When you run Tor Browser for the first time, you will see the option to connect directly to the Tor network, or to configure Tor Browser for your connection with the settings icon.

  9. Tap on the settings icon. Tor Browser will take you through a series of configuration options. The first screen will tell you about the status of the Tor Network and provide you the option to configure a Bridge ('Config Bridge'). Tap on 'Config Bridge'.

  10. Choose the "Provide a Bridge I know" option and then enter this bridge address:
    conjure 143.110.214.222:80 url=https://registration.refraction.network.global.prod.fastly.net/api front=cdn.sstatic.net

  11. Tap 'OK' and, if everything works well, it will connect.

? Submit your feedback

Submit your feedback and findings here on this topic or use Conjure Gitlab for technical reports. Include a clear description of the problem, your Tor logs, steps to reproduce it, and any relevant details.

By testing Conjure and reporting any issues, bugs, or suggestions, you will contribute significantly to refining its performance and optimizing its capabilities. Your participation will not only benefit the Tor community but also help advance the Internet freedom community.
