order to ensure that Snowflake can scale to handle more and more users over time, we need to increase the pool of proxies from diverse sources.

In this activity, we will improve standalone Snowflake packages so that they are easier to install with less technical expertise. Standalone Snowflake proxies—as opposed to Snowflake proxies run through a browser extension—can be installed on servers, and offer a higher bandwidth and greater reliability for users behind restrictive NATs and firewalls. Right now, standalone Snowflake proxies can only be installed with the command line. We will make these packages available for easy download and install for specific operating systems (e.g., Debian).

O3.4 Advocate for third-party projects to add the ability to run Snowflake proxies into their products: Right now, the Tor Project develops browser extensions for Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, as well as the standalone Snowflake proxy tool. Guardian Project allows Orbot users to become a Snowflake proxy. Third-party tools like the browser Brave and I2P offer built-in ways for their users to become Snowflake proxies. Other tools like Mozilla and Mullvad Browser are examples of projects with whom we have established collaborative relationships and we see clear alignment and possibility of successfully advocating for the addition of this feature. In this activity, we will advocate and work with more third-party projects to add this functionality to their tools.

Building relationships and demonstrating the real-world value of Snowflake proxies will be key to successful advocacy and adoption. We will tailor our approach to each third party, and be persistent and adaptable throughout the process. Below, we have outlined our approach for advocating with third-parties.
