Only 2 weeks until @defcon. We're back with a booth where you can get some brand new custom Tor merch alongside old favorites. Stop by and stock up! #defcon34
A couple more highlights from this release: https://t.co/vOlrXDRzhF
📱 We shrank the Android APK by ~3 MB with a new compression approach to stay under Google Play's size limits.
📉 Tor Browser Android is also down to just 1 remaining telemetry library (still disabled by default), with plans to remove even that in the future.
Tor Browser 16.0a9 Alpha is here! 🔔 https://t.co/J9yKZSA9WO
If you enjoy testing new builds and helping us catch bugs before stable, we'd love your help: https://t.co/sLjryeZjwD ⚠️ Alpha builds are for testing only.

Our friends at @Logos_network just launched Testnet v0.2, a functioning, privacy-focused platform that developers and node operators can use, test, and build on today. By bringing Blend online, Logos makes it harder for network observers to identify who is proposing blocks. Start working with the stack now: https://t.co/XXaHFKqPEW
Testnet v0.2 is live and open for you to try out.
Core protocols are hardened and the first privacy primitives are online, including Blend, which brings proposer anonymity to the consensus layer.
Run a node. Build. Test it.

Censors got better at blocking VPNs, so we rebuilt ours from the ground up.
FreeSocks v2 is out today, with harder-to-block protocols, accounts that collect no personal data, and no IP logging anywhere.
It's free forever. Share it with a friend behind the censored Internet.
And this one by Isabela Fernandes, reflecting on 20 years of @torproject and how an anonymity tools became public interest infrastructure

We know that privacy and Internet Freedom are long time struggles, and we want to support when we can.
We were then happy to help with fundraising for @torproject and @FundingCommons campaign Internet Freedom (https://t.co/VZl0wen1M5) as well as fundraising of @internetarchive
What happens when you bring together 1,000+ builders, researchers, digital rights advocates, journalists, lawyers, artists and technologists to talk about privacy?
This is what we learned from the first Neo-Cypherpunk Summit.

What is congestion control?
Instead of using a fixed speed limit, congestion control lets Tor adapt how much data moves through a circuit based on available capacity. For users, the goal is simple: improved speed and lower latency. https://t.co/h0gASdJS1p
What is Counter Galois Onion?
A new encryption design for Tor circuit traffic.
The main goal: stronger protection against tagging attacks, where an attacker tries to modify traffic in one place and recognize the change somewhere else on the network. https://t.co/22c8CcGelG
🚨🔃 Arti 2.5.0 is out. This release marks Counter Galois Onion as stable, enables Congestion Control by default for improved speed, and includes fixes for two medium-severity DoS security issues. Read the full changelog: https://t.co/KzPvxbgJ6R
