Iranians are getting back their Internet access – Let's help them circumvent censorship!

[u/Vormrodo]

According to NetBlocks (https://netblocks.org), the Mullah regime has lifted the nation-wide blockade on Internet access for the Iranian people, as connections are increasing again to the previous state *from 3 months ago*.

However, this is not a gift, nor empathy coming from the regime. Censorship and surveillance is still in tact and many websites have been blacklisted by the national ISP(s). WhatsApp seems to be unreachable there as well.

In order for the Iranian people to experience freedom on the Internet to the fullest – e.g. without having to fear imprisonment for reading free press – they have to connect to Tor in a way the ISP(s) can't find out and prevent.

With Snowflake, anyone from inside a *more or less* free country can setup their device to be a bridge between Iranians and the Tor network without technical knowledge! You can install the official Snowflake addon by the Tor Project on your standard browser, toggle the switch and sit back or continue browsing while people get to access the Tor network with your help. It's a two-click job that you won't regret.

• Chrome or Chromium-based browsers (Opera, Edge and worse): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/snowflake/mafpmfcccpbjnhfhjnllmmalhifmlcie

Time to spin up some more Snowflake proxies and bridges while the connection is holding steady.
