You literally ought to be asking yourself all the time: "What is the most important thing I could be working on in the world right now, and if you are not working on that, why aren't you?"

We're seeing a spike in bandwidth usage on our Unredacted Door services as people from Iran are coming back online.
These services consist of proxies and bridges that help people bypass Internet censorship.

Maintenance complete. We migrated from flat file storage to PostgreSQL due to continued performance issues. We're hoping this should solve most of them.
There's a new widget on our website 👀
RE: @al@social.coop
We exist because of the privacy and cryptocurrency community
Help us and many other great organizations thrive 👇
Due to the increasing prevalence of zero-day vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel, and worries about AI-driven vulnerability discovery - we've been working on a project that we believe will be important for the security of our infrastructure.
Details coming soon 🍿
We've moved our Tor exit relay family to CIISS version 3.

For validation, the DNS TXT record at we-run-this-tor-ed25519-family-id.unredacted.org can be queried.
We the people want an open and accessible Internet 🗽
Information should flow freely - just like a free press, whose importance was recognized long ago 📰

Matrix is one of the best examples listed because it's federated, open source, and you can host it yourself.
You can also join a homeserver which respects your privacy https://unredacted.org/services/si/matrix/
For those wondering about FreeSocks v2, we've been working hard towards release and apologize to anyone who's been waiting for it for so long.
v2 will feature a complete control plane rewrite (open source), full web UI and support for various Xray subscriptions/configurations.
We've finished setting up our new PoP in Kansas City! ⚡️
Our plan is to host many of our high-bandwidth services that don't require power or network redundancy there. Our new deployment contains Tor relays operating on our GreenWare hardware, and our NoiseNet network!

Our censorship evasion services have processed over 650TB of bandwidth combined in the past 30 days ⚡️
Help us build more infrastructure, and reach 1PB per month & beyond by making a tax-deductible donation of any amount: https://unredacted.org/donate/ - we also accept cryptocurrency!

@ahf@mastodon.social for this deployment we 3D printed our own chassis. Plan to make a blog post about it and release the files. We’ve used Compute Blades in the past and do have 20x of them running as Tor exit relays currently as well! However they are always out of stock and still don’t have proper heatsinks for CM5 boards. Overall they were about 2-3x more expensive, and have some major flaws with the chassis
There’s many pictures of that Compute Blade deployment here https://unredacted.org/blog/2025/05/unredacted-labs/#greenware
Replying to
@ahf@mastodon.social it’s about 98 separate RPi 5s (which do crypto accel) in total. Each one is running a single C Tor process - although in the future we hope to run Arti to fully utilize all cores rather than needing to spawn multiple C Tor daemons.

@iuvi@mastodon.social we do have some for Signal + Telegram https://unredacted.org/services/ce/proxies/

The maintenance is still going, and resulted in about 30 minutes of downtime overall. We’re still in process of migrating archived messages.

Open quoted postThe next generation of FreeSocks VPN. Tomorrow.
Open source, free and accessible to everyone.
#Censorship #Privacy #Freedom
Censors got better at blocking VPNs, so we rebuilt ours from the ground up.
FreeSocks v2 is out today, with harder-to-block protocols, accounts that collect no personal data, and no IP logging anywhere.
It's free forever. Share it with a friend behind the censored Internet.

Most VPNs don't work well in countries with high levels of Internet censorship
FreeSocks VPN does because it uses advanced protocols that disguise connections as traffic normally seen on the web
FreeSocks punches holes in Internet firewalls 👊
