Due to Apple's policies, there are no good ones. The least bad one is called Onion Browser and is recommended by the Tor Project.

US still refuses to transfer ATACMS to Ukraine in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz
[–] haakon@lemmy.sdfeu.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm guessing the US arsenal of ATACMS missiles is rather limited and they have their own reasons for not making it smaller, which they can't go into detail about. Frustrating, but understandable.

First time I've heard of Ukraine using or even having thermobarics.

WebTunnel, a new pluggable transport for bridges, now available for deployment (forum.torproject.org)
 

We’re excited to announce WebTunnel, a new bridge pluggable transport (PT) for the Tor ecosystem. It is a censor resistant proxy that try to imitate HTTPS traffic, based on HTTPT research. We are currently operating a trial soft launch for WebTunnel, and encourage bridge operators to set up WebTunnel bridges to discover issues within the implementation of this new pluggable transport.

Relay operators: 8 relays peers IP address are allowed from now (end of June 2023) (forum.torproject.org)
 

You might recall that Tor has been restricting the possible amount of Tor relays per IP address to 2, mainly for Sybil prevention reasons.[1] We bumped that limit to 4 earlier this year[2] to make better use of available resources and considered back then bumping that limit further to 8 relays per IP address.

I've good news for everyone looking forward to raising that limit further: after an investigation into the effects of allowing 4 relays per IP address[3] we think it is overall beneficial for the network and our users to raise it further to 8.
