Help others bypass censorship.
Snowflake is a system that lets people in censored regions access the free and open internet through the Tor network. By running the widget below, your browser becomes a temporary proxy, no configuration, no risk to your traffic.

Snowflake is a pluggable transport for Tor that uses temporary WebRTC proxies, run by volunteers in browsers worldwide, to help censored users reach the open internet.
A censored user opens Tor Browser and selects Snowflake. Their traffic is routed through a volunteer's browser proxy (you!), then on to a Tor bridge, and finally into the Tor network.
Because the proxies are short-lived and run inside ordinary web browsers, they are extremely difficult for censors to block.
Yes. Running a Snowflake proxy does not let anyone browse through your identity. The exit traffic still leaves through the Tor network's exit relays, not your IP. You're only providing a brief WebRTC handshake hop.
The easiest way is to keep this page open in a tab, the embedded widget below will run automatically. You can also install the official Snowflake extension for Firefox or Chrome from the project website.
Run the Snowflake widget
The widget below is the official embed from the Tor Project. While this tab is open, your browser will occasionally serve as a proxy for users who need it.
