Recently we migrated nearly all of our core services to our new datacenter colocation. Fully redundant compute, storage and network with hardware that we fully own🎉

If you're using Matrix to chat with others, why not join our Matrix space? We have rooms centered around general discussion, censorship evasion/circumvention and relating to our Secure Infrastructure services. matrix.to#/#space:unre... #Matrix #Privacy #Censorship

We will be migrating the Unredacted Matrix server on 3/23 at 10pm / 22:00 UTC. We expect the server to be inaccessible for around 2 hours. During the maintenance window, please check our status page for updates. You can also subscribe for email updates. status.unredacted.org

Our Tor exit relays have been successfully migrated to our new network; AS401401. We're nearing completion of the initial stages of our project to make traffic correlation attacks against the Tor network even harder! bgp.tools/as/401401 metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#sear... #Tor #BGP

Anyone have experience with eBPF, XDP or AF_XDP and want to help us build something cool for our privacy-friendly and censorship resistant infrastructure? Feel free to reach out! You don’t even need to help build it, we're just looking for general advice as well. #eBPF #XDP #Networking #Linux

Today is World Day Against Cyber Censorship. Every day, Unredacted is working on building and maintaining privacy-friendly Internet infrastructure that helps people evade censorship around the world. Help us support our mission unredacted.org/donate/

The U.K. government's insistence that Apple creates an encryption backdoor undermines our right to private spaces. Apple must resist these efforts.

The UK demand for a backdoor to subvert end to end encryption (E2EE) sets a dangerous precedent, and threatens the safety of nearly everyone who uses the technology to protect their sensitive data from abusive government requests and criminals. Everyone has the right to #privacy.

The Investigatory Powers Act could prohibit companies from revealing that the UK government has ordered them to remove encryption. “That raises the real risk of false reliance on a safety feature that isn’t there,” EFF’s Andrew Crocker told @bloomberg.com.

A speed test from our new colocation. Details coming soon after we work out the kinks in our new network (AS401401).

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

Happy Data Privacy Day! 🔒 Use end-to-end encryption wherever possible 🕵️ Be careful who you share sensitive or personal data with 🗣️ Tell others about privacy-friendly software & services 💰 Vote with your wallet and support people, companies and organizations who advocate for privacy #DataPrivacyDay

There have been widespread reports across various social media platforms that censorship has been put in place, or shifted to censor certain political views or phrases. Censorship = the death of democracy. #Censorship #Democracy

ProPublica reporters are dedicated to investigating government agencies and federal policy. Concerned public servants are some of our most important sources. We appreciate the difficult situations people weigh as they decide whether to reach out. Here's how to securely get in touch.

Our friends over at revuo-xmr.com write a great newsletter about all things Monero (XMR). Give it a read! #Monero #XMR

We've deployed a public Etherpad instance @ etherpad.unredacted.org Etherpad is an open-source, web-based collaborative real-time editor. We don't store IPs, or any PII. #Etherpad #OpenSource

Our infrastructure uses a lot of electricity, and as a result emits more carbon than we would like. Because of this, 1% of donations via the majority of our donations options go to Stripe Climate to offset our carbon emissions. unredacted.org/donate/ stripe.com/climate #ClimateAction

We’ve created a brand new status page at status.unredacted.org The new one allows anyone to subscribe to updates via email

We’ve added an option to our donation page for those that want to donate with shielded Zcash (ZEC)! We also allow donations to be made in Monero (XMR). unredacted.org/donate/ #Zcash #ZEC #Monero #XMR

We're continuing our fight against Internet censorship, and fighting for people's right to privacy into 2025. Read our 'year in review' and learn about what we worked on in 2024, and what our plans and ambitions are for 2025! unredacted.org/blog/2024/12...

In the fight against oppression and injustice, the Internet is an invaluable tool. It empowers us to exchange new ideas, organize effectively, and create meaningful, lasting change. By expanding access to information, and ultimately, knowledge - we can build a better world for everyone.

If you regularly use Reddit, be sure to join our new subreddit www.reddit.com/r/unredacted... We’ll be sharing news, blog posts and updates from Unredacted.

We've added a new Signal proxy to our list. If you're experiencing issues accessing Signal in your country due to Internet censorship, you can use a Signal proxy to circumvent that censorship. unredacted.org/services/ce/... #IRanASignalProxy #SignalProxy

We're working on a complete rewrite of github.com/unredacted/f... into a fully-fledged web application to help anyone with the distribution of Outline & Xray/XTLS access keys. Here's a sneak peak of the admin UI. #Outline #Xray #XTLS #VPN #Proxies

TypeScript or JavaScript? 🤔

Here's a sneak peek of our upcoming project😎 Any guesses what it's for? #RaspberryPi #RPi #PoE

While Signal is great, $50 million per year in operating costs seems quite high. This is likely due to Signal operating on top of AWS, and paying very high infrastructure costs as a result. This is why we like to build our own infrastructure from the ground up. It saves money.

Some nice used hardware deals were had yesterday. We didn’t get to keep the cat though. 🥲

Did you know that we accept donations in Monero? Any amount helps to fund our projects, and we have many new ones in the works. unredacted.org/donate/ #Monero #CircularEconomy

🧅 #tor: Our next relay operator online meetup is on Saturday, December 7th, 2024, at 19:00 UTC. We're excited to welcome special guest @susansegfault.bsky.social, who will present his new book:"Tor: From the Dark Web to the Future of Privacy" More details 👇 forum.torproject.org/t/tor-relays...

We've created a new page called Unredacted Updates - unredacted.org/updates/ It can be hard to understand and follow everything that we do. So, every month, we'll tell you the major things we're working on, and what we've accomplished in our fight against Internet censorship. #Transparency.

We're working on deploying 10 new Tor WebTunnel bridges over the next several days. If you'd like to support our efforts directly, we accept various donation methods, and in the US your contributions are tax deductible! unredacted.org/donate/
