The Register reports
that longtime Tor contributor Lucky Green is quitting and closing down the
node and bridge authority he operates. “Practically, it’s a big
deal. Bridge Authorities are part of the infrastructure that lets users get
around some ISP-level blocks on the network (not, however, defeating deep
packet inspection). They’re also incorporated in the Tor code, meaning that
to remove a Bridge Authority is going to need an update.” The
shutdown is scheduled for August 31. (Thanks to Nomen Nescio)
