* snowstorm * https://www.forbes.com/sites/johanmoreno/2023/02/08/as-the-internet-freedom-... * https://snowstorm.net/

* Raw probe log (with packet capture) from logcollector is available for download * You need a password to access it * The link is the 7th field in * https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/connectivity-measurement/b...

== Actions ==

* We should make a ticket for pion to cache its stun answers when possible, because right now it surprises us by asking way more stun questions than it actually needs to. * We might want to be able to spin up our own stun servers, on our own ip/port, for debugging. We should talk to TPA about that goal at some point (not urgent). * Roger will look more at https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40578 ("only contact the first few working bridges on your bridge list") and plan to have a sense of whether it will be an easy hack or a hard one, for next week.

== Interesting links ==

*

== Reading group ==

* We will discuss "" on * * Questions to ask and goals to have: * What aspects of the paper are questionable? * Are there immediate actions we can take based on this work? * Are there long-term actions we can take based on this work? * Is there future work that we want to call out in hopes that others will pick it up?
