Also our testing indicates #Tor is #censorable and there is active censorship in the network, especially when #trafficAnalysis may be able to identify who is using a connection.

We have tried multiple times to use #OnionShare and the connection cuts out about 1MB into the download everytime.

So its not just #exitNode related.

This means Tor is no longer able to protect #whistleblowers and #journalists in #Australia (elsewhere?).

Seems #I2P is a way forward.

Is anyone else getting the 'Secure Site Not Available' screen in #TorBrowser?

Its been appearing frequently in Tor since about a year ago now, and it tries to downgrade the connection to an #insecure #HTTP request.

It occurs somewhat randomly.

Our first thought was some sort of #exitNode TLS #DownGradeAttack, but we have reason to believe that the browser is randomly just trying to force users to downgrade their connection.

Thoughts?
