Excellent! Still, as I argued before, I believe that a solution we could use is defaulting to Tor channeling in our mobile app. Facebook offers it as an option in partnership with Orbot - I believe we should do the same, but default to it (so that people cannot be held responsible for making a choice). For unlogged Wikipedia reading this solution is practically transparent for users.
I've recently contacted the WMF with Orbot people and hope that at least we can evaluate this approach as a possibility. best, Dariusz Jemielniak "pundit" On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 2:11 AM, Cristian Consonni <crist...@balist.es> wrote: > Hi all, > > Some months ago, the idea of setting up an onion service for Wikimedia > projects was discussed on this list[1] and as a proposal in IdeaLab on > Meta[2]. > > Today, Alec Muffett announced on Twitter[3] that he created «as an > experiment» a series of read-only mirrors of all the Wikimedia projects. > He will be running them for some time. > > The service is reachable with a Tor-enabled browser at the following > address: > https://www.qgssno7jk2xcr2sj.onion/ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > If you want to try out the service, first visit the addresses listed in > this page and add exceptions for the SSL certificates: > https://gist.github.com/alecmuffett/3da587fde6aef90ba3e49e8858fafdae > > (this is one of the limits of having a non-official service) > > Alec Muffett is the author of the Enterprise Onion Toolkit (EOTK)[4], a > FLOSS project which "does for Onions what LetsEncrypt does for SSL", > that is providing a simple way to transform websites in Onion services > (which are accessible only and contained within the Tor network).
