The Tor Project (torproject@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 18-Nov-2021 23:52:52 UTC The Tor Project Since mid-2021, we've seen the number of obs4 bridges decreasing & a subsequent overload of existing bridges.
Bridges are relatively easy / low bandwidth to operate, but they have a big impact. By running a Tor bridge, you help people bypass censorship.
