Getting Jitsi and Ostel to work together over Tor consistently would be pretty amazing. (For those unfamiliar, Ostel uses UDP and Tor uses TCP [1][2]). Some people pipe UDP traffic through Tor using OnionCat, but I've never tried it. There was a relevant ticket about it [3], but seems unlikely the network will ever explicitly allow UDP because of low user demand, more network research needed, fingerprinting concerns, and then getting exit policies to allow the traffic. Tricky tricky. ~Griffin [1] https://guardianproject.info/2012/12/10/voice-over-tor/ [2] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2014-February/032138.html [3] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7830 -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
