The Tor network is an invaluable tool for circunventing censorship and staying anonymous online. And that’s why it’s blocked is several countries and regions around world. The community has come up with different ways of overcoming that through bridges to access the Tor network. Snowflake is one of those technologies, disguising traffic as an audio or video call. But to work, Snowflake needs volunteers to run proxies on their own unblocked network. There are already browser extensions, a CLI, a website embed script. And the Orbot, a Tor VPN Android app, has kindness mode that you can enable. But we decided to build a standalone Android app for running a Snowflake proxy, and called it Snowflake Volunteer. Install it on an Android device, configure it to run as you would like (only on Wifi or charging), and leave be to do its thing. Source code is available too.
