Unredacted
Global censorship evasion infrastructure: proxies, Tor relays, encrypted messaging
Unredacted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that builds and operates Internet infrastructure for censorship evasion and secure communications. We run a global network of over 300 servers, all on hardware we own in multiple datacenters, serving over 100,000 people.
FreeSocks, one of our flagship projects, provides free proxies to people in countries with heavy Internet filtering. We've issued tens of thousands of access keys. We operate 123 high-bandwidth Tor exit relays, 60+ Tor Snowflake proxies and bridges, and proxies for Signal and Telegram. Our XMPP.is and Matrix servers provide free, encrypted messaging to 85,000+ users.
We also run NoiseNet, an experimental anycast network designed to resist traffic correlation attacks, and GreenWare, energy-efficient hardware powering our entire Tor relay fleet. Across all of this, we push hundreds of terabytes of traffic monthly.
All of our software is open source. All of our services are free. Our goal is straightforward: keep people connected and private, wherever they are.
Impact
Serves over 100,000 people with censorship evasion tools, operating 120+ Tor exit relays and free encrypted messaging for 85,000+ users.
How your donation helps
Most grant funding comes with strings attached: a specific project, a specific deliverable, a specific timeline. Unrestricted funding would be much different for us. It lets us put money where it's actually needed when it's needed, without renegotiating scope every time the threat landscape shifts. In practice, that means tripling FreeSocks proxy capacity, adding hundreds of new Tor exit relays, pushing NoiseNet from experimental into production, building micro PoPs for GreenWare and bringing on new people for specialized work. It also means we can respond in hours, not months, when censorship events spike demand. Unrestricted funding lets us run the org without barriers.
