What is Snowflake?

Of course, this is not about the food!
The Snowflake plugin offered by TorProject is an excellent tool for making the internet a safer place. You can easily download this plugin for free from the Chrome Store.
How does it work?
Think of it as a USB stick storage device that we use in our everyday lives.
The plugin can be plugged into any computer, much like the internet can be accessed from any place any time. If you close your browser, the plugin automatically stops and becomes "unplugged" from the internet.
On the other hand, when you open your browser, the plugin again connects your internet to the Snowflake network, making it more secure and private.
How does "plugging your internet" help others bypass censorship?
So after the Snowflake plugin connects to the Snowflake network, that means you are already participating in the Snowflake network, and you can start helping to support the fight for online freedom and accessibility around the world.
To put it simply, when you use a Snowflake proxy like many other volunteers, it enables internet users on Tor Browser to bypass censorship and conceal their identity by "randomly bouncing" through a vast network of proxies.
Have fun safeguarding the internet from censorship.
