It's been said evading censorship is a game of driving up false positives
and that "we" control the pace of the arms race. What about not playing
this game back and forth? Here is a sure(?) way to stop all censorship of
tor by parties that do not want (or can't) "just whitelist the internet".
Just as a side benefit you no longer need the larger part of the tor
network to be "outside" the
censorship firewalls because this is not about making client->bridge
traffic censorship resistant but any client->entry and optionally all tor
network communications.
1) A lot more relays, ideally every user should also be an entry node by
default
2) recommend to run tor and other services on the same IP and same ports,
otherwise provide option to run a random dummy server
3) many nodes should run useful (and actually used) TSL encrypted services
on the public server. The goal is that if Tor is blocked so will be
hundreds of thousands of websites and other services.
4) Tor authenticates to pass through to the Tor server. Depending on how
aggressive the censorship is, entry node/bridge IPs and passwords don't
even have to be secret. If Tor is outlawed (and this is enforced) bridges
will still be necessary.
Let me know why this won't work.
(Sorry, I have no idea how I should label this ticket and if that's the
right place anyway)
