The easiest bit is right at the bottom:
If you're not technical enough to run a bridge, but want to help censored users, there are other ways you can help:
Run a Snowflake proxy. You do not need a dedicated server and can run a proxy by simply installing an extension in your browser. The extension is available for Firefox and Chrome. There is no need to worry about which websites people are accessing through your proxy. Their visible browsing IP address will match their Tor exit node, not yours.
Link to the extensions from: https://snowflake.torproject.org/ https://snowflake.torproject.org/
One can also host snowflake on servers: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/tree/main/proxy https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-...
Or, integrate in a website: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake-webext#reuse-as-a-library https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-...
Or, embed in iframes:

- Eduard 5y agoThis criticism makes it seem that Snowflake is a great arrest honeypot: https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/944-Tor-0day-Snowflake.html https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/944-To...
- ignoramous 5y agoNot an expert, but snowflake is a bridge to the Tor network. One may detect its use, but I doubt it breaks Tor's anonymity guarantees, as it is really a bridge. Of course, if using Tor is deemed a crime, then using snowflake bridges might not be the wisest thing to do. Cloaked protocols like Shadowsocks might come in handy.
