Hi everyone,
This is my status report for contract work done in November 2022.
# Conjure development
I've made some progress on deploying a Tor PT for Conjure[0] in alpha versions of Tor Browser[1], such as:
* allowing client args to passed in as SOCKS args
* helping the client recover and retry if the phantom connection fails due to high station load
* setting up safe log scrubbing at the bridge
* setting up a domain front for client registrations
There's a little more work to do in getting the domain front set up, but the tor browser integration is ready to submit for review. Test builds are available at https://people.torproject.org/~cohosh/conjure-torbrowser/
# Bridge reputation system
This month I started work on integrating a reputation-based bridge distribution system into our ecosystem. The month started with an analysis of the system and integration details of Lox[2], and work on a test integration is underway[3][4][5].
# Snowflake web extension
We've had a lot of volunteer contributions to the web extension this month. I reviewed and merged these requests. I also worked on the following:
* Finished fixing up localization (thanks emmapeel!)
