  • Fyi a snowflake proxy, is when your acting as a entrypoint via tor.

    So if you lived in china and when the government restricts internet acess.

    If you tried to connect to tor there great firewall would block all public tor entrypoints.

    So a snowflake proxy is where a user, such as one who lives in china can enter the tor network via the snowflake proxy to where the 3 hops starts in the onion routing process. Which then anonimizes there traffic, also i believe in certain countrys, such as the US. If someone where to do something illegal via your tor node, you would not be liable because of safe harbor rules.

    Which in overly simplified terms. Is like facebook or snapchat, if a user posts something illegal facebook doesn’t get in trouble for hosting it, as long as they follow take down requests they dont get in trouble.

    FYI im NOT a lawer but this is what i heard
