RE: @securedrop@social.freedom.press

The web’s security model has long relied on trusting the server. WEBCAT is an attempt to change that. Please help test it if you can. Your feedback at this early stage of development is extremely valuable. Excited to collaborate on this with @freedomofpress@social.freedom.press and @securedrop@social.freedom.press

💜 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Tor Community

Together, we’ve raised $1,200,200 during our end-of-year fundraising campaign. These funds will fuel our ongoing fight for internet freedom. As our Executive Director, Isabela, said:

“We're continuing with a clear vision: make it easier for people to exercise their right to privacy and access to information with tools that keep us connected, and make it harder for powerful adversaries to break that connection.”

Roger Dingledine on why the protection of metadata—who you talk to and where you go online—should be baseline infrastructure. Not a privilege for people power already protects.

If you're at FOSDEM (@fosdem@fosstodon.org) this weekend, be sure to stop by our booth at Building K, level 1 and get some stickers. And don't miss the Tor relay operator meetup later today: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/DRMMAB-tor_relay_operator_meetup/

Tor's next #relay operator meetup will take place this Sunday, Feb 1st at FOSDEM '26 (@fosdem@fosstodon.org). We have no agenda to make time for your questions and topics. 📆 Find all details here: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/DRMMAB-tor_relay_operator_meetup/

🇮🇷 Update: Brief returns of internet access are driving spikes in Snowflake usage. Please help us run more proxies if you can. ❄️ snowflake.torproject.org

The easiest ways to run Snowflake is by using Tor Browser, Orbot, or installing the browser add on in your current browser. Extra capacity helps people in Iran stay connected when the network comes back online.

For the past three years, we've been working on tools and protocols to monitor the health of the Tor network. 🩺 This work aims to strengthen the Tor network's resilience and resistance to relay attacks. These tools recently underwent a third-party audit, and here are the results! https://blog.torproject.org/code-audit-network-health-tools/

We're still accepting applications for the Team Lead - Project & Grant Management role!

Human rights are upheld by people, communities, and technologies that adapt to a changing world. Here's what that looks like for Tor as we head into the next year. https://blog.torproject.org/advancing-digital-rights-in-2026/

Are you a project management leader passionate about privacy and human rights? 🌍🌐 The Tor Project needs a Team Lead for Project & Grant Management. You'll work across engineering and fundraising to ensure impactful work gets delivered on time. Visit our job listings for full information: https://www.torproject.org/about/jobs/team-lead-for-project-and-grant-management/

What does it take for a distributed community to organize its own gathering from scratch? Earlier this year, a group of Tor folks set out to prove that community-organized meetings can work on a shoestring budget. But why?
