Snowflake is a system that allows people from all over the world to access censored websites and applications. Similar to how VPNs assist users in getting around Internet censorship, Snowflake helps you avoid being noticed by Internet censors by making your Internet activity appear as though you're using the Internet for a regular video or voice call.

    Seems like that. Embarrassed I still can't understand it after a few re-reads with my long covid addled brain. Would be anxious what some of tor's clientele would be browsing and what would leak out.

      Their visible browsing IP address will match their Tor exit node, not yours (since you’re an entrypoint).

      So that's cool, def getting this. Always wanted to contribute to the onion network, but there was no practical way before since I almost exclusively use the clearnet.
