The Tor Project celebrates a major victory against online censorship, deploying its 300th WebTunnel bridge! This milestone expands internet access in censored regions by disguising Tor traffic as regular web activity. Learn how this helps bypass restrictions: [https://cyberinsider.com/tor-celebrates-300th-webtunnel-bridge-milestone-in-fight-against-censorship/] #TorProject #WebTunnel #Censorship #InternetFreedom #newz

Recently we upgraded our #Tor #obfs4 bridge relay from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04. Unfortunately we missed a permissions issue with obfs4 that changed with the upgrade. This kept Tor in a restart loop and prevented anyone from using the bridges. This has been corrected.

This were the errors:

[warn] Server managed proxy encountered a method error. (obfs4 listen tcp 23.129.64.90:443: bind: permission denied)

[warn] Managed proxy '/usr/bin/obfs4proxy' was spawned successfully, but it didn't launch any pluggable transport listeners!

We also have a #WebTunnel bridge that was not affected since it's on the disobey.net server.

#38c3 #tor We are calling on the Tor community and the Internet freedom community to help us scale up WebTunnel bridges.

If you've ever thought about running a Tor bridge, now is the time.

As a token of our appreciation for your volunteer work, we're offering a Tor t-shirt to operators who run 5 or more #WebTunnel bridges.

#MastoAdmins's can easily help the #Tor network by installing the Tor daemon on the linux server and configuring their web server to be a #WebTunnel bridge

disobey.net does it (https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/7E12D6CACBA1051FD23A48482E091257CD4701BC), you can too!

"Hiding in plain sight: Introducing WebTunnel"

有人在 #Tor 论坛里问：如何在 #Tails OS 中使用 #WebTunnel 网桥？

https://forum.torproject.org/t/tor-browser-tails-os-webtunnel/9754

截至2024年6月，Tails 系统中的 Tor 浏览器仍然不支持添加 WebTunnel 网桥，只能添加 #obfs4 网桥。

关于 Tails 系统的“能”和“不能”，我们改天发文详细说说。

We're excited to have published a new @torproject WebTunnel bridge hosted by disobey.net!

Details are on https://emeraldonion.org/bridges

2024年3月。#Tor 团队正式发布 #WebTunnel 网桥。

3月12日是“世界反对网络审查日”。Tor 团队在这一天正式发布 WebTunnel 网桥。这种网桥特别针对那些网络审查非常严厉的地区（肯定包括中国）。WebTunnel 网桥让你的 Tor 流量看上去像是普通的 https 流量，更不容易被识别和封锁。

使用 WebTunnel 网桥的步骤：

1. 使用普通浏览器访问 https://bridges.torproject.org/options/ 在“Advanced Options”部分的下拉菜单里选择 WebTunnel，然后点击“Get Bridges”，填写一串验证码之后，就能得到一个 WebTunnel 地址。

2. Tor 浏览器桌面版添加网桥的位置是：【设置】→【连接】→【网桥】→【添加新网桥】→【手动添加网桥】。复制前面得到的网桥地址，把它完整地粘贴在这里，点击“确认”即可。

3. Tor 浏览器 Android 版添加网桥的位置是：齿轮图标→【设定网桥中继】→【手动输入一个网桥中继地址】。在弹出的窗口里，粘贴上面的网桥地址即可。

Tor a tutta Privacy! I nuovi bridge WebTunnel sfidano la censura online!

Gli sviluppatori del #progetto #Tor hanno annunciato il lancio di una nuova funzionalità: i bridge #WebTunnel, che funzionano su un #proxy #HTTPT resistente al rilevamento e consentono al traffico Tor di mescolarsi meglio con il normale traffico #HTTPS.

Der vom @torproject neu entwickelte #WebTunnel lässt den über Tor verschlüsselten Datenverkehr strukturell wie normales, unverdächtiges Surfen im Netz aussehen.

Dadurch eignet sich der WebTunnel gerade für Regionen, in denen das Umgehen von Internetsperren empfindliche Strafen nach sich zieht.
Das sind wirklich gute Nachrichten!

Tor’s new WebTunnel bridges mimic #HTTPS traffic to evade censorship

#WebTunnel is a new bridge type designed to help bypass censorship by helping #Tor traffic (which can stand out like a sore thumb,e ven if they have no idea what you are actually doing) blend in with regular HTTPS traffic.

#Tor’s new #WebTunnel bridges mimic #HTTPS traffic to evade #censorship
WebTunnel is inspired by #HTTPT probe-resistant #proxy, but takes a different approach mimicking HTTPS. Since blocking HTTPS would also block the vast majority of connections to #webservers, the WebTunnel connections will also be permitted, effectively circumventing censorship in network environments with protocol allow lists and deny-by-default policies.
