Awesome

That’s great news! I’d love for it to be added to a wiki. Just make sure that whatever version of this post is added to the wiki is the most updated one.

Welcome to the club!

No. That has to do with how the Tor network works. The bridge forwards the connection to a non exit relay. You do not communicate with an exit relay whatsoever. The middle relay does, but the exit relay doesn’t know who are are and you don’t know who the exist relay is.

You are completely right. That was worded poorly and a few users have thankfully pointed that out. The answer, for most people, is yes. But that depends entirely on your threat model.

The traffic to your Snowflake proxy isn’t necessarily from people in ‘adversarial countries’. A Snowflake proxy is a type of bridge, so just about anyone can use it. You can use a Snowflake bridge, if you want. However, it is strongly encouraged to save bridges (including Snowflakes) to people who need them.

So, for most people, it is generally safe to run Snowflake proxies. Theoretically, your ISP will be able to know that there are connections being made there, but, to them, it will look like you’re calling someone on, say, Zoom since it uses WebRTC technology. They can’t see the data, though since everything is encrypted (check the Snowflake docs and Tor Brower’s for further reference). You probably won’t get in any trouble for that.

Historically, as far as we know, there haven’t been any cases of people getting in legal trouble for running entry relays, middle relays, or bridges. There have a been a few cases of people running exit nodes and getting in trouble with law enforcement, but none of them have been arrested or prosecuted so far.

If you know of any, let me know.

I’ll check it out! Thank you <3

Which one? [email protected]? I’m in it already; I was looking for something a little more ‘serious’.
