Help Iranians stay connected!

The internet access has been heavily disrupted across the country.

Please consider running a Tor Snowflake proxy - it's a quick and meaningful way to help Iranians stay online.

Please note that the snowflake browser addon seems more efficient in Iran. https://snowflake.torproject.org/

🚨 We're still in need of more #snowflake extensions to help keep Iranians connected during this critical time.

If you're able, please consider running a Tor Snowflake proxy. This simple and safe action can make a significant difference in ensuring Iranians stay online. #KeepItOn

Corruption and Control: How Turkmenistan turned internet censorship into a business

In Turkmenistan, one of the most isolated regimes in the world, internet censorship has evolved beyond surveillance and control.
In an Orwellian twist, the people blocking access to the internet are the same ones secretly selling it back, at a price most Turkmens can't afford.

🇮🇷 Update: Brief returns of internet access are driving spikes in Snowflake usage. Please help us run more proxies if you can. ❄️

Donate your bandwidth and help Tor users circumvent censorship by deploying your own Snowflake.

For users outside Iran: install Snowflake browser addon

The easiest way to spin up a Snowflake is to install the browser addon, enable it, and see the icon turn green when a blocked user connects to your addon.

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/torproject-snowflake/

Snowflake standalone proxy
For more technically versed users, you can opt to run a standalone Snowflake proxy on your desktop or server. See our command-line guide.

For people in Iran 🇮🇷
To use Snowflake, you'll need a Tor-powered app like Tor Browser, Orbot, or Tor VPN. Tor Browser can be downloaded via our official Telegram bot: @gettor_bot.

Snowflake with AMP cache rendezvous seems more reliable in Iran. To use AMP Cache method, launch Tor Browser, copy and paste: about:preferences#connection, scroll down and click on "Replace bridges..." or "Add a Bridge Manually..." and add copy and paste the lines below:
