What if you could help journalists and activists in places like Iran and Russia with a few clicks? Tor is an anonymity network run by volunteers that protects the location and identity of users while they use the internet for research, messaging, and organizing. Unfortunately oppressive regimes block the access points to Tor. My project, Bridge Buttons, lets you deploy a Tor bridge for free to Amazon’s cloud. A bridge helps users connect to Tor by first connecting to an innocuous looking server, making it hard to block! I’ve preconfigured these bridges so that it can run for free for up to a year, making this the cheapest and easiest way to get started.
