RE: https://mastodon.social/@torproject/116601918442334712The funding round is now closed. Thank you to everyone who showed up to #FundInternetFreedom. We’re tallying donations and matching allocations, and will share results soon. Support is still encouraged, but new donations won’t count toward this quadratic funding round.RT: https://mastodon.social/users/torproject/statuses/116601918442334712

What is Counter Galois Onion? A new encryption design for Tor circuit traffic.The main goal: stronger protection against tagging attacks, where an attacker tries to modify traffic in one place and recognize the change somewhere else on the network. https://blog.torproject.org/introducing-cgo/

What is congestion control?Instead of using a fixed speed limit, congestion control lets Tor adapt how much data moves through a circuit based on available capacity. For users, the goal is simple: improved speed and lower latency. https://blog.torproject.org/congestion-contrl-047/

🔔 Tor Browser 16.0a9 Alpha is here! https://blog.torproject.org/new-alpha-release-tor-browser-160a9/If you enjoy testing new builds and helping us catch bugs before stable, we'd love your help: https://community.torproject.org/user-research/become-tester/ ⚠️ Alpha is for testing only.A couple more highlights:📱 We shrank the Android APK by ~3 MB with a new compression approach to stay under Google Play's size limits.📉 Tor Browser Android is also down to just one remaining telemetry library (still disabled by default), with plans to remove even that in the future.

Suggested donation for all swag at the Tor booth is reduced today, the last day of @defcon. Grab the t-shirts, badges, stickers, and plushies for less... we might even be taking offers. #Defcon34

A year of Tor VPN Beta real-world use has taught us a lot and shaped what’s next. Explore our per-app circuit isolation, a surprising UX lesson about bypassing blocks, and the mobile foundation we’re building: https://blog.torproject.org/tor-vpn-beta/Tor VPN Beta is a multi-year collaboration. Thank you to @guardianproject for guidance and critical mobile libraries, and LEAP Encryption Access Project for quality work. Neither could be missing from this effort.
