Thank you for running a proxy. The response to our call has really helped our capacity. We haven’t been seeing clients turned away because of a lack of proxies for a few days now. Here’s a screenshot from our recent metrics:
As far as the data channel timeouts, we receive reports of that happening but it’s unclear whether this is due to some technical issue with our NAT matching process, malicious or weirdly behaving clients, or blocking that we haven’t caught yet.
We have a long-standing issue open for this: Proxy-go is receiving a lot of client timeouts (#30498) · Issues · The Tor Project / Anti-censorship / Pluggable Transports / Snowflake · GitLab
Maybe it’s a good time to revisit it. Regardless, your proxy is helping the network, even if it’s idle at times the influx of new IPs will help a lot of users.
