I've been moderately happy this morning to find out I can open hackernews. Also Gmail is working. After attempting to get bridges using email and configuring an dozen of them I got 100% connection but then it disconnected without me being able to connect to anything. I would assume some sort of tunneling must be possible cause the services available are varied and not limited to a few websites (We only had access to Google Search for about a week and nothing before that) now even Nintendo Store opened to my complete surprise.

Is there anything people outside Iran can spin up in order to get more routes out?

I there anything the outside world can do? Like are the people relying on https://snowflake.torproject.org/ https://snowflake.torproject.org/ and adding bandwidth there actually makes a difference?

  Unfortunately if it's public the government can also see it and block it :(

    Snowflake aims to make every IP address a Tor bridge. It hides Tor traffic inside something very similar to a video call, which works in a browser behind NAT.

      If the censors could probe and detect Snowflake on IPs, those will get blocked. When a censor observes suspiciously high amount of traffic to a set of IPs, it might block them or shape bandwidth.

    You and your friends at Islamic Republic would do exactly what Israel has done in Gaza, if necessary. Killing thousands in less than 2 days is just a sign of nature of Islamic Republic. If necessary they would use chemical weapons against people of Iran.

  I usually use snowflake as a last resort, and even that's not consistently working right now. However I've seen people recommend running Conduit[1] to friends overseas, which is an easy-to-use Psiphon proxy node. Psiphon is a popular circumvention tool here so that could be helpful.

  If you're an American, demand radio free gets all it's funding back to 2024 levels, for a start. I read that people in Iran have relied on that service for a long time.

Glad to see you here. I’m almost afraid to ask but how are you and everyone else?

  I use this same username everywhere and it's tied to my identity so let me keep it brief. I live in a small town and you wouldn't get much protesting or any political activity in those. On the other hand, I'm currently serving in the police force (Which all able bodied men of age have to do and serve in one of the three armed forces of my country) and the bigger question since the start of the protests has been "What to do if I was put in a position against people?" Thankfully that hasn't happened yet but still there is a feeling of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    That is a nightmare. Hopefully events play out such that you can stay true to your conscience.
