Please help us test new experimental bundles that have flash proxy and pyobfsproxy enabled by default.
- Windows (sig) Mac OS X (sig) GNU/Linux 32-bit (sig) GNU/Linux 64-bit (sig)
Flash proxy is a transport that uses proxies running in web browsers as access points into Tor. pyobfsproxy is a Python implementation of the obfsproxy modular transport that makes network traffic look unlike normal Tor traffic.

In particular, you will probably need to configure port forwarding in order to receive connections from browser proxies.
