Please try out the WordPress obfuscaTOR plugin! I’ve tested it on Linux and Windows, all you need are the GD libraries. Fonts are included in the library, still waiting for a way to make that work well without including the fonts(need ideas!).
If you choose to run this plugin you are helping to distribute Tor bridge information. This can be used by many people to access information restricted by their government, or to remain anonymous when posting political information to the internet. It’s hard to distribute this information because listing the IP addresses on a site will either get that one site blocked, or have all those IP addresses filtered. But if the information is obfuscated, computers can’t read it(most of the time) so filtering can’t be automated. If tons of blogs display this obfuscated information, then you can block any one particular distribution point. This will hopefully give more people the ability to remain anonymous while preventing governments from censoring the information.
Also check out the Tor Project and consider running one of these relays. If people don’t run relays, then there is no bridge information to distribute.
Ryan, it’s very cool plugin I hope. But you should import widget and short-code support, to give users more abilities to insert ObfuscaTOR in theirs blog.
Feature request number two: captcha is so weird and unreadable, can you make it human-friendly?
Thanks!
Thanks for the input! I’ve just added shortcodes and amd working on getting a widget implemented. I’d like to add both functions in one release, so I’m going to give it a few more days to get widgets working correctly before I release. Thanks for the ideas!
