If you want to help but find configuration hard you can easily help by running a Snowflake proxy on your phone or in your browser.

I have configured my phone run a Snowflake proxy every time my phone is connected to WiFi and charging. It's automated and does not require me to do anything. I have turned on notifications that tell me every time I'm helping someone connecting to Tor. It gives me a good feeling every time.

Glad to see they arent going along with the bullshit of "all russians are evil and deserve to die" that is recently going around. The russian people is under dictator oppression and deserves just as much support as any other people in the same situation.

No, not all Russians are evil and deserve to die. But closing your eyes and playing oblivious to what's happening out there, just believing the state propaganda and living in a position "oh it's just the bad leader" is not a morally OK position.

If there is a dictator in your country you have some moral duty to find out at least a bit about the truth.

How do I know?

I'm German.

My grandparent's generation was the one that actively closed their eyes, that actively looked away, that everything that happend was someone else's problem. They were the Generation that arranged themselves, that did good business as long as it wasn't them that were deported, killed or fought at in the war.

This is not a position that is morally OK, but this is what I see of a lot of Russians. Not all, but a lot.

I like how you just conveniently ignore the part about a dictator oppression.

The key word here is oppression.

A country that is closing its eyes and deserves what they're going to get is the US. In 20 or 30 years when the US is an authoritarian oppressive State then at that point the people don't have a choice, just like they don't in Russia today.

Authoritarian oppressive states don't just let the people think what they want to think. You are groomed and indoctrinated the moment you receive education until the day you die. The easiest way to control a populace is for the populace to not even know they're being controlled.

A key factor to that is limiting and restricting access to outside information. Which is what Russia does which is why the Tor project is so important

I've been running a relay from home for years. I think I'll have a shot at this. I'm not sure we want Russians on tor right now though.

If you don't want a certain geographic of people on Tor, then you don't believe in Tor.

I draw the line at people from New Jersey.

Does anyone know if running a webtunnel attracts additional unwanted hacker attempts to a domain more so than just hosting normal stuff? I presume its all bots and the simple act of hosting anything gets lots of exposure regardless.

[-] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I honestly don't have an answer to that but from my understanding running a web tunnel from your home IP can have negative consequences in relation to your address being flagged as a public proxy.

With the potential to be added to certain automatic ban lists. But more likely than not you'll be added to a list of potentially untrustable addresses which means you'll be doing a lot more CAPTCHAS in the future
