New Service, Tor Bridge

Another day, another new service on ~vern, and this time we’re helping fight censorship.

If you don’t know what Tor is, it’s a network that allows for anonymous communication.

This means that anyone able to speak freely over the Internet with Tor. Sadly, some countries block Tor Guard nodes (entry nodes), so without bridges, accessing Tor would be impossible.

A bridge is a server that isn’t listed officially on the Tor relay list, but allows for people to circumvent blockages and access Tor behind them.

Our bridge will, hopefully, help those in Iran and other countries suffering from Internet censorship to use the Internet however they like.

Blogs like these will appear whenever we add a new service from now on.

Thank you all for supporting ~vern!
