Over the last few weeks, the Tor Project and relay operators received abuse complaints regarding alleged port scanning activity from their servers. Thanks to a collaborative effort, the source of the spoofed packets has been identified and shut down.
In this blog post, we want to reaffirm our commitment to keeping Tor free and provide insight into the rationale behind the recent removal of certain bad relays.
Tor has released 0.4.7.7, the
first stable Tor release with support for congestion control. Congestion
control will result in significant performance improvements in Tor, once Exit
relays upgrade. Relay operators: please read!
In this post, we'll explain what we do to fight malicious relays in our network, how we did in the past, and what further improvements are upcoming and being worked on.
Today the Tor Project is launching the Run a Tor Bridge campaign. Participants are invited to contribute and help censored users by running a Tor bridge. You can find more details below, including our special reward kits for participants. The campaign will run from November 17 to January 7, 2022. Join us and help censored users!
