We’re always looking for volunteers to help make the world’s strongest privacy software even better. We want you to be a part of this important work. In the next 12 months, we’ll port Tor to mobile ( building on work we laid out before), make it easier for third-party developers to integrate Tor’s privacy and security protections into their apps, and make Tor more user-friendly, so that more people can obtain, install, and run Tor, giving more people a highly secure way of browsing the internet without being tracked or monitored or having their personal information shared and exploited. We added a new feature to the Tor network, changing how traffic gets distributed and preventing the network from becoming overwhelmed.We launched our support wiki, making it easier to find answers to frequently asked questions about Tor.We redesigned our Tor Metrics website and launched the a whole host of new features, including Relay Search.They also documented censorship in Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, Egypt, Cuba, Catalonia, and Pakistan. Our friends at OONI released the ooniprobe app, a tool for monitoring network surveillance and censorship.
We launched our first public bounty, paying people to #HackTor (responsibly!).Sandboxed Tor Browser is available for Mac and Linux and is coming soon to Windows. This process is called sandboxing, and it works by separating Tor network processes from rest of a user’s computer, denying malicious actors access to users’ files, documents, and IP address. We released a big update to Tor Browser, which brought major security improvements to Tor, isolating attacks on our software so they don’t compromise a user’s computer.We released our next-generation onion services featuring cutting-edge crypto algorithms and improved authentication schemes.Here are just some of the ways we kept Tor and the fight for internet freedom strong: The free and open internet was under attack in 2017, but Tor was there to fight for privacy and security every step of the way.
