- Snowflake is a censorship circumvention system using lightweight temporary proxies (snowflakes) that communicate via WebRTC.
- It resists address-based blocking through a large pool of temporary proxies (around 100k) and content-based blocking by encrypting traffic in WebRTC.
- Snowflake is integrated into Tor Browser as a built-in circumvention option, serving tens of thousands of daily users.
- Setting up a Snowflake proxy on Debian is simple: install the snowflake-proxy package and enable the service.
- In two weeks of running, the author served about 100 GB of traffic with low CPU usage and manageable memory (can be limited).
