Tor's webtunnel is a bridge designed to help people in censored regions connect to Tor. It can be published through several methods: Email, Telegram, Web pages, Tor browser embedded settings etc. Webtunnel is a bridge disguised as normal webpage traffic that can be set up behind any website. Follow this tutorial: https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/webtunnel/ . There are some settings we can customize:
-
$PATH: You can set this to a non-random, longer promotional text, such as /monero-forum-for-monero-coins-and-privacy-people.
-
Nickname: Set this to MoneroForum.
After doing this, anyone who obtains your bridge will see details like this:
Bridge webtunnel [randomip] [fingerprint] https://monero.forum/monero-forum-for-monero-coins-and-privacy-people version=0.0.6
On metrics.torproject.org, others will also be able to see the MoneroForum bridge. You only need to contribute an average of 1MB/s of bandwidth to promote this forum to privacy-conscious people outside the already over-promoted Monero community. you'll also help many people in Russia, Iran, and other places overcome censorship, it's a win-win situation. I strongly recommend anyone with privacy products to try this approach. It's beneficial for your product, Tor, and those living under censorship.
