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

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/tors-new-webtunnel-bridges-mimic-https-traffic-to-evade-censorship/

if you want to help people access the full, uncensored internet via Tor, and you're a fedi admin, here's a way you can help. you may know about Tor Bridges and how they're used by people behind repressive governments that censor the internet to safely access the net. countries like China or Russia block the public list of Tor relays, for example.

WebTunnel is a Bridge method that uses a reverse proxy that you configure using your existing nginx (etc) web server that points to your server's local tor daemon. so your fedi instance can be a bridge to the Tor network for people who cannot connect to Tor normally. disobey.net is hosting one ^^

one thing to note is that it's important to disable nginx (etc) web server logs, since the people who use bridges are connecting to you as their first, trusted hop onto the tor network. something to keep in mind to maximize privacy and reduce your own liability.

This blog post by Neil Gaiman from 2008 is worth reading and rereading. It illustrates perfectly why we must stand united against people who want to censor "icky" fictional things, even when they are targeting stuff we personally dislike.
