Re: [tor-dev] Flashproxy has been Deactivated by Stanford? Why?

The reason I haven't asked people to stop running the flash proxy badge

without the usability challenges:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/Snowflake. I was
thinking about adapting existing flash proxy badges to provide capacity
to Snowflake instead. This would go for Cupcake as well. The need to get
the badge running again hasn't been pressing because Snowflake isn't
deployed yet, but we're getting close.

I'm working on incorporating Snowflake into Cupcake before Snowflake is added to Tor Browser. Cupcake still has a flash proxy client (only), but obviously this is not particularly useful right now. Not sure whether I'll just switch entirely to Snowflake or keep the legacy flash proxy support as an option in case it comes back into use. The way it shook out, Cupcake users only wound up contributing ~6mb a day at most because there are many more Cupcake users than people who were using the flash proxy option on Tor Browser. With Snowflake, the balance might shift a bit, so it will be interesting to see what happens there. =)

best,
Griffin
