Snowflake

Notes

  • We started with walking over the architecture of Snowflake: The user, Tor Browser, Tor Client, Snowflake Client, Snowflake Server, Snowflake Broker, and what Domain Fronting is.

  • We then walked over what questions we were trying to explore.

Questions

  • What is the status of Arti with bridges here?

  • How does Snowflake select between the two end-points that it can switch between?

  • Metrics (Prometheus, but also what is uploaded to collector). Does people miss anything?

  • STUN / NAT situation: look at Shell's ticket on various odd properties with STUN services used in the Snowflake ecosystem?

  • Does the standalone snowflake proxy do Parallel Proxies? Is it documented?

  • What is the Post-quantum Cryptography Status of the Snowflake ecosystem?

  • Iran user count situation?

  • DK situation (SE has 3x the amount of proxies than DK): How do we get more Snowflake proxies in Denmark? How do we do efficient campaigning in specific countries?

  • Onion Key Pinning design.
