I have fwd to Mike Tigas who can hopefully coordinate some appropriate outreach and awareness.

I was reading about Ukraine's May 16 blocking of Russian web sites and the resulting increase in Tor users: https://www.rt.com/business/388502-ukraine-bans-vk-yandex/ https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-relay-country.html?start=2017-05-01... https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-country.html?start=2017-05-0...

One of the blocked sites is VKontakte, a service like Facebook. I found that they have a page on circumvention that recommends e.g. Opera VPN, Tunnelbear, and Tor Browser. https://vk.com/page-22884714_52979730 (https://web.archive.org/web/20170520222918/https://vk.com/page-22884714_5297...)

Their links for Windows, macOS, and Android look good, but for iOS they are linking to some weird third-party app "VPN Browser - TOR-powered unlimited VPN": https://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/vpn-browser-tor-powered-unlimited-vpn/id9610... Perhaps someone could get them to link something more reasonable? _______________________________________________ tor-project mailing list tor-project@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-project
