Hi guys, from time to time I monitor the snowflake traffic of my browser add-on. I don’t know how long it’s been like this… but at the moment there are hardly any connections and the traffic is almost zero… has the code been changed or has a way been found to disrupt the connections? ---

Hi! This could be related to the recent broker migration: [[tor-relays] Restart of standalone Snowflake proxies required](https://forum.torproject.org/t/tor-relays-restart-of-standalone-snowflake-proxies-required/16027) However, it appears like only standalone proxies are affected for the most part. Try restarting your machine anyway. ---

I am only referring to the browser add-on and do not operate a standalone proxy… I have searched but unfortunately have not found any source code for the add-on. Is it essentially identical to the stand-alone proxies? ---

You find the source code [here](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake-webext) and the current version is [0.9.2](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/torproject-snowflake/). ---

Ah yes, that’s what I was looking for… as expected, it’s written in java script… unfortunately, that’s not my home either, so it would take a long time to compare it with the Go code. Perhaps here again to clarify what I’m seeing: ![snow_1](https://forum.torproject.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b4c27deb887dcbf1abe9cfacafdd92ae15d30d0d.png) In a monitor session of around 4 hours, there was only one minute in which stun binding requests were received. Mainly from IPv4 addresses. Not a single request was answered. So no connection is established to the requesting client. From your answers, I conclude that it is code or operational and not an attempt or attack from outside. ---
