What blocking we've seen with Lantern also corroborates Collin's analysis in terms of blocking appearing to be IP enumeration and not traffic classification. We've also seen increases in blocking on weekends when perhaps they think we're not watching! -Adam On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 3:00 PM,

I'm really interested in your in-country torrent deployments, Griffin. I agree the threats are complicated. Is an infiltrating seeder in Iran learning about someone serving the Tor binary dangerous for that person serving it, for example? I would tend to say it's no more or less dangerous than

I just wanted to quickly add my strong support for the notion that having a variety of tools is essential to this fight. Lantern's up and running in Iran and China right now, for example, but that could change at any moment, and users need alternatives. China dropped the hammer on us on Dec 12th I

All really well put, Shava, and I couldn't agree more. I actually met with Jessica this morning after requesting they change the title (almost missed my flight as a result!), and she spoke with her editor about it. They'd apparently have to do it through issuing a correction, which sounds a little

I don't think anyone would claim that every piece of free software is automatically more secure than every piece of proprietary software, because as you say there are many other factors involved. Nor would I! But in your definition of security, you seem to be discounting the user's
