Snowflake
Allow users in censored countries to use your network connection to access the Tor network.
Snowflake Chrome Extension - Power Up the Tor Network
'Snowflake' is a distinctive Chrome extension enabling individuals residing in uncensored regions to make their network connections available for those living in countries with heavily censored Internet access. Just by installing and enabling Snowflake, a user provides a lifeline to restricted individuals to enter the Tor network and browse the Internet freely and securely. Moreover, there's no concern over the browsing activities of those using your extension - their visible IP address will correspond to their Tor exit node, not yours. The understanding and empathy of the Snowflake users contribute towards generating a less censored, more open global Internet community.
