Snowflake is a technology to allow people from all over the world to access censored applications and websites.
Similar to how VPNs assist users in getting around Internet censorship, Snowflake helps you avoid being noticed by Internet censors by making your Internet activity appear as though you're using the Internet for a regular video or voice call.
I am running a Snowflake proxy for sometime now. Installed on a server using the Ansible role. I also sent in couple of patches to the role.
