FreeSocks v2 has exceeded the total user count achieved by v1 throughout its history within just a few months. The service grows by about 1,000 users per day now. We are developing new features and working hard to ship them: - Automatic SNI and IP rotation

- Country-based tests to confirm node reachability, and rotate things when not - An “edges” feature that automates L4 and L7 proxies which front our nodes - A native app, allowing for more granular controls and censorship resistance

We're building auto-IP rotation into the freesocks-control-plane (FCP). Right now rotations are manual, but we are building support into the FCP for various provider APIs - so that we can auto-rotate our edge proxy IPs based on telemetry (user reports of issues and automatic probes).

We're working on a new connection method for Freedom Mode in FreeSocks that should improve reachability Thank you to everyone who has reached out to us and provided telemetry

"The idea that an organization that is an alternative host—for email, websites, and other services—could be designated a terrorist organization simply for providing a service that a lot of people want…is scary," EFF’s @jillian.bsky.social told @reason.com.

reason.comRubio uses terrorism law to ban secure email serviceThe State Department doesn’t accuse Autistici/Inventati of doing anything more than providing surveillance-free email accounts. But that’s enough to declare it a terrorist organization.

New FreeSocks features are live! - You can now report issues in the UI and provide us with valuable telemetry to determine where issues are happening - Anyone can now donate bandwidth, even without an account (every $1 = 1GB of bandwidth for all free users)

Thanks to generous people, FreeSocks free-tier users now have 186GB of free bandwidth through our bandwidth donation feature. Every $1 donated = 1GB of bandwidth for every free-tier user! See it in action at freesocks.org #VPN #Proxy #Privacy #Censorship

FreeSocks in our primary location was down for many hours, we sincerely apologize for the outage We're working on adding a new location so it's possible to switch if one goes down

We had a breakthrough yesterday on our eBPF software called PacketFrame, allowing us to drop CPU usage on one of our routers while allowing congestion control algorithms to push more packets through by implementing FIB caching

Congress is preparing to vote on the KIDS Act, a sweeping internet bill that would pressure websites and apps to determine users’ ages before allowing them to read websites, send private messages, or participate in online communities. Take action 👇 act.eff.org/action/tell-... #AgeVerification
