FreeSocks v2 has exceeded the total user count achieved by v1 throughout its history within just a few months. The service grows by about 1,000 users per day now. We are developing new features and working hard to ship them: - Automatic SNI and IP rotation

- Country-based tests to confirm node reachability, and rotate things when not - An β€œedges” feature that automates L4 and L7 proxies which front our nodes - A native app, allowing for more granular controls and censorship resistance

We're building auto-IP rotation into the freesocks-control-plane (FCP). Right now rotations are manual, but we are building support into the FCP for various provider APIs - so that we can auto-rotate our edge proxy IPs based on telemetry (user reports of issues and automatic probes).

We're working on a new connection method for Freedom Mode in FreeSocks that should improve reachability Thank you to everyone who has reached out to us and provided telemetry

"The idea that an organization that is an alternative hostβ€”for email, websites, and other servicesβ€”could be designated a terrorist organization simply for providing a service that a lot of people want…is scary," EFF’s @jillian.bsky.social told @reason.com.

FreeSocks updates✴️ - Imports fixed for the newest sing-box apps (including the new Linux client) - Tor over FreeSocks works again - IPv6 now supported end to end (was broken previously) - Issue reports accept free-text descriptions

New FreeSocks features are live! - You can now report issues in the UI and provide us with valuable telemetry to determine where issues are happening - Anyone can now donate bandwidth, even without an account (every $1 = 1GB of bandwidth for all free users)

Thanks to generous people, FreeSocks free-tier users now have 186GB of free bandwidth through our bandwidth donation feature. Every $1 donated = 1GB of bandwidth for every free-tier user! See it in action at freesocks.org #VPN #Proxy #Privacy #Censorship

FreeSocks in our primary location was down for many hours, we sincerely apologize for the outage We're working on adding a new location so it's possible to switch if one goes down

Authoritarian governments want to hide the truth, because the truth exposes their crimes A fight against Internet censorship is a fight against authoritarianism

- The website should now load much faster than before - You can now switch servers if you want to try another one - We're working on reducing latency and increasing throughput across our routers by using VPP (Vector Packet Processing - We're planning to add a new location soon

An open Internet protects and expands access to technology, knowledge and education The fight for Internet Freedom is inherently a fight for human rights That's what we're fighting for #HumanRights #Freedom #Internet

We had a breakthrough yesterday on our eBPF software called PacketFrame, allowing us to drop CPU usage on one of our routers while allowing congestion control algorithms to push more packets through by implementing FIB caching

In the past 30 days we pushed over 1.6 PB of data on our network. All to help people protect their right to privacy and help everyone access the open Internet. #Privacy #Censorship #Tor

The KIDS Act passed the US House with a vote of 267 to 117 today. It still needs to be voted on in the Senate. Let your voice be heard, and contact your Senator. ⬇️ www.senate.gov/senators/sen... #Censorship #Privacy #KIDSAct

Congress is preparing to vote on the KIDS Act, a sweeping internet bill that would pressure websites and apps to determine users’ ages before allowing them to read websites, send private messages, or participate in online communities. Take action πŸ‘‡ act.eff.org/action/tell-... #AgeVerification
