Hi! This is my status report for contract work done in November 2023. # Reputation-based bridge distribution We deployed a Lox distributor for rdsys in production for testing purposes. The distributor does not currently receive an allocation of bridges from the distributor as we are currently testing the invitation and reputation functionality of the Lox server. Most of the work done this month has been on continuing client-side integration and finding and fixing bugs with the distributor. - Coordinated with applications team on client-side integration https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/42036 - Worked on squashing lox distributor bugs https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/lox/-/issues/40 # Snowflake - Caught a bug in the log scrubber https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snow… - Released version 2.8.0 of Snowflake https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snow… - Dependency management - Reviewed SQS rendezvous merge request https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snow… # Conjure - Conjure bridge maintenance - Updated bridge configuration to allow connections from a new station https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/conj… - Investigated a potential issue with the front domain used for registration https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/conj… - Met with Conjure developers and talked about the deployment of more Conjure stations # Domain Fronting Alternatives - Looked for cloud providers that offer domain fronting - Looked for good potential front domains for working cloud providers

PieroV's Monthly Status Report, November 2023
by Pier Angelo Vendrame 01 Dec '23

Hi everyone! Here is my status report for November 2023. During most of the month, I've worked on experimenting with porting the tor integration refactors I wrote last Summer and the connection assist to Android. In particular, I experimented with the plumbing mechanisms between our JS code and the Java code of the Android parts of Firefox Android. I've had promising results, and I've opened a MR [0] to merge them to our main codebase, even though they will be initially gated in the nightly channel. On the second week of November, at Tor, we had a hack week about writing documentation. My proposal [1] was to create a graphical visualization of the dependencies between the various projects in tor-browser-build and to add a readme file to each project. I also contributed to some wiki pages created by other members of the applications team. In addition to that, I worked on smaller issues, such as enabling portable mode for the DLL blocklist [2], updating our build containers to Debian bookworm [3], fixing a warning on our .dmgs [4], rebasing our alphas to Firefox 115.5.0esr and more. Finally, I realized I'd written a few scripts on several occasions, and I scattered them through various GitLab comments. Therefore, I gathered them in a personal repository [5]. They're not refined, but maybe some might be useful again in the future. Cheers, Pier [0] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/merge_requests… [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/community/hackweek/-/issues/25 [2] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/42163 [3] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/4… [4] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/4… [5] https://gitlab.torproject.org/pierov/lazy-scripts
