The goal of this project is to ensure Iranian citizens can exercise their human right to expression and access to information online through the use of the Tor network and subsequent access to sites, services, and apps otherwise censored by the Iranian government.
The Tor Project’s work to provide Iranians with uncensored access to the internet has three interconnected strategies:
1. Ensure Tor tools are easy to find and use for Iranians
2. Monitor the Tor network availability from connections in Iran and act quickly to unblock the network when new censorship techniques are detected
3. Ensure that the ways Iranians connect to the Tor network are reliable, resilient, and scalable
The Tor Project will work on this project as the primary grantee, in partnership with Guardian Project, developers of Orbot, Onion Browser, OnionShare, and other secure and private mobile apps, and with the support of Miaan Group.
