Replying to [comment:3 gk]:
> I am not a big fan of making it look like we support some third party
tools we have not audited. If there is an issue with Tor's circumvention
capabilities we should fix that on the Tor side. Third party applications
might be easily in the position to betray the very safeguards Tor is
trying to provide.
I agree with these thoughts. Because I have not heard much discussion of
use of 3rd party tools, this statement surprises me: "third-party
censorship circumvention tools are actually widely used in heavily
censored area where Tor bridges and pluggable-transports are not
effective."
