Comment (by arma):

 Would sure be awesome to have a proxy-go build of the snowflake proxy (not
 client, not bridge, the thing in between) that people can install on their
 androids to contribute.

 Maybe this is a bite-sized project we can tell the world we'd like to have
 somebody jump in and work on?

 (There is a person on #tor now wanting essentially this, which made me
 think of it.)

 Yep. This question goes along with arlo's sentence above, "An idea is to
 create a specialized app with the proxy-go code with the appropriate
 permissions to run in background or whatnot and put that in the app
 stores."

Comment (by cohosh):

 arma just brought up a question in IRC about whether this problem is due
 to android or due to Firefox on android, and whether we can get proxies to
 work in a mobile setting if we use something other than Firefox to run the
 proxy code.

 This ticket should be renamed given that the plans have changed.

 Yeah that's not a good sign, until we make more progress on #25429,
 proxies that run out of resources are going to cause a lot of latency at
 the client.

 In that case I'll unpublish it from android for the next release (not sure
 if that makes the old version actually go away from the web store).

 It might because, at present, recoverability for clients is suspect (ie.
 in development).

 And, from some initial testing, there's just enough time for a client to
 connect to the proxy while Firefox is a background app before resources
 are suspended and they have a bad experience (this statement may or may
 not be true).

 An idea is to create a specialized app with the proxy-go code with the
 appropriate permissions to run in background or whatnot and put that in
 the app stores.

 Good observation, but I suppose even if it doesn't it won't hurt anyway?

 > I'll check the box for the next version update.
 I still [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/search/?q=snowflake
 don't see it].

 IIRC this only involves changing a setting in the AMO page.
