Yes, volunteers on non-censored connections can run the *Snowflake proxy*.

That would be rather iffy. Almost like inviting users to run > relays, no? But perhaps I'm just confused. The Snowflake client connects to the Snowflake proxy. Snowflake uses the STUN WebRTC method, so clients and proxies discover each others’ external IP addresses. If Snowflake used the TURN method, then the TURN server would discover both addresses: https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/snowflake.git/tree/client/rendezvous.go#n141 T
