Hello everyone!
Here are my updates from the month of May. Like past few months, most of
my work has been concentrated on helping users from regions where Tor is
censored. I resolved 384 tickets across our user support channels on
email, Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal.
Following is a thorough breakdown of tickets our user support team
handled in May:
Timeframe: 01 - 31 May 2023

Most frequent tickets by numbers:

2. 65(↓) RT tickets: circumventing censorship in Russian speaking countries.
3. 7(↑) RT tickets: circumventing censorship with Tor in Iran.
4. 3(-) RT tickets: Tor Browser doesn't run with Mandatory ASLR on Windows (the issue
is fixed with the 12.0.5 Tor Browser release and the users just had to
update their browser)[0]

to work as expected)[1]
