I installed #Orbot by @torproject roughly two weeks ago on my phone to help people circumvent #censorship. In that short time I already helped almost 400 people reach the #internet. You can learn how it works and how to help (it's a click of a button) here: https://snowflake.torproject.org/

I am running snowflake on my vps for at least two years, but no idea how many individuals used it.
Didn't know this is also possible in Orbot, but I won't do it on my phone as my bandwidth might not always be good enough to provide a good experience and it might also eat my data.

I see, but in my own WiFi I'd rather run snowflake on one of my Pis and when I'm abroad in Hotel Wifis I'd rather not run it, as they are usually congested. But if you are often in good WiFis or have no always on Raspi in your network than it's probably a good way to contribute.

@mdosch @shadowwwind @torproject If you have it dockerized, you can check the docker logs for it, it shows a summary of connections and data for every hour.

Running since 6 month
@shadowwwind likewise, Snowflake does the same for your computer browser. Helped a few people myself by a simple extension in Firefox that doesn't even get in my way at all!
@shadowwwind @torproject fyi orbot is a Guardian Project app i'm not sure if it's directly affiniated with the Tor Project itself
@soop @torproject oh your right. They saw it and didn't disagree..
