Found it. But I do know for certain, that many folks do such stuff if they find a clickable link in the post … and if not "they will look into it later"

@torproject the web page doesn't give a lot of detail, even in the faq section. Tor browser (which i use) says it's "ready to use" on the page, but zero info on how to activate and host a snowflake in Tor browser like you can with firefox extension.

I've been running this in #Firefox for 3 years since I listened to a talk by its original developer, Serene, at the World Ethical Data Forum in 2022.
It is completely unobtrusive. Here is a good explainer from @eff

Serene also has an interesting story

Orbot saugt den Akku leer, zumindest bei mir auf dem Handy (Android). Auf dem Notebook im FF läuft es prima.

@torproject how much extra data is to be expected from running snowflake?

I operate, and have for years already, a regular relay. Is that of any help? I might be able to fire up another one, albeit with a rather limited bandwidth. -

How do clients know to connect to an instance of snowflake? Does the server 'phone home' somewhere to list itself as available? -

How do clients know to connect to an instance of snowflake? Does the server 'phone home' somewhere to list itself as available?@sb @torproject we have to connect to a broker, which gives us an IP address of an active proxy. The broker itself is domain fronted behind another big website (like bunny.net, cdn77, these two currently work on MCI, in my region at least) -

Thank you.I'm just wondering, once a standalone instance of snowflake is running on a server and the ports have been opened up, how is that instance discovered?

Ah, perfect - exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. -

@sb @torproject I'm not sure exactly how, but maybe because snowflake proxies are used as entry nodes, broker discovers them the same way that TOR entry nodes are discovered (which I also don't know how)
maybe tomorrow I'll start reading on it a bit -
