Old addresses redirect automatically, on the onion service too. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/10/2026-anoni-net-news-launch/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/10/2026-anoni-net-news-launch/ Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Most news on privacy, anonymity networks and internet censorship is published in English from a European or North American vantage point, and coverage tends to stop at the start of a story. anoni.net now runs a daily news site, anoni.net/news, that reads these stories from a technology and open-source angle, adds comparisons across Asia, explains the first step readers can take and what it costs, and follows stories as they develop. This post covers why we started it, how stories are chosen and checked, the eight categories, and the companion series Same Day, Years Apart. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/09/asian-diceware/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/09/asian-diceware/ Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The community built asian-diceware, a 7,776-word English passphrase wordlist that drops in for the EFF Large Wordlist and pins 292 dictionary-attested Asian loanwords. This post is about how the words were picked. The breakdown by source language is not what the people who built it expected: 102 from Japanese and 91 from South Asian languages, against 16 from Mandarin and exactly one from Hokkien. It also covers the two hard limits on word choice, why the share stops at 292 instead of rounding up to a tidy percentage, and how the build pipeline refuses to silently drop a pinned word. Code is MIT, the wordlist is CC-BY-4.0, and there is an A5 booklet PDF we also hand out at events. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/08/2026-gg2026-printed-wrapper/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/08/2026-gg2026-printed-wrapper/ Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000 A print-only zine, 150 copies, handed out at Global Gathering 2026 in Estoril. This is the design record behind it: the first cover that took the wrong angle, the run where Taiwan vanished from the map, and the constraints a copy shop imposed on the whole visual direction. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/08/2026-anoni-net-global-gathering/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/08/2026-anoni-net-global-gathering/ Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Global Gathering 2026 runs from 4 to 6 September in Estoril, Portugal, hosted by Team CommUNITY. We have a booth on 6 September, 13:00 to 15:00 WEST, at Booth 6, titled anoni.net Hub: Sinophone Asia-Pacific Networked Freedom. This is our first Global Gathering. We want to meet technologists building anonymity networks and circumvention tools, and others working across Asia. The booth takes anonymous payment as its topic, a subject no session on the agenda covers, and collects real situations from the people who have run into it. Cofacts, another team from Taiwan, has Booth 10 in the same slot. This post covers the sessions on the agenda that overlap with our work, the booths we plan to visit and what we want to ask each of them, how to find us before our own slot, and how to take part without travelling. We also bring the observation record from 30 minutes of mobile throttling in northern Taiwan on 13 August, as a case others can compare against. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/08/tianjian-digital-privacy/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/08/tianjian-digital-privacy/ Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Tian Jian's two-session series on digital security and privacy for journalists. We covered a journalist's digital security baseline on August 12, and Mashbean takes on platform intermediaries on August 26. Free, online, and still open for registration. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/07/2026-coscup-anoni-track-staff/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/07/2026-coscup-anoni-track-staff/ Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Anonymity Networks Community is looking for three on-site crew for its COSCUP 2026 track (Aug 8–9, NTUST, Taipei): one for recording, one front-of-room runner, one door runner. No Tor or privacy-tech background needed, there is an online briefing beforehand, and you are free to sit in on talks when you are off shift. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/07/coscup-2026-community-track/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/07/coscup-2026-community-track/ Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Anonymity Networks Community runs a two-day track at COSCUP 2026 (Aug 8–9, NTUST, Taipei): Tor, Tails, OONI, browser tracking, campus Tor nodes, data-privacy rights, a privacy guide, and anonymous payments, with a session co-organized with ETHTaipei. COSCUP is free with no registration, so you can walk in and attend anonymously. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/05/iran-blackout-webtunnel/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/05/iran-blackout-webtunnel/ Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Iran cut off the internet for more than 80 days. When it came back, traffic poured into a Tor WebTunnel bridge our community runs. Here is what we saw, and an invitation for people in other regions to run WebTunnel or Snowflake too. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/05/2026-cryptpad-zh-hant/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/05/2026-cryptpad-zh-hant/ Mon, 25 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Two and a half years of upstream community work landed in CryptPad 2026.5.0 (2026/05/13): zh_Hant (Traditional Chinese) is now a built-in locale, zh_Hans was upgraded alongside it, and a new locale alias system migrates older zh_CN / zh_TW settings without surprise. The community-hosted cryptpad.anoni.net is upgraded; readers in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and across the diaspora can now use one of the few end-to-end encrypted collaboration suites entirely in their own script. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/05/2026-campus-tor-relay-template-kit/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/05/2026-campus-tor-relay-template-kit/ Thu, 21 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 NZ has turned the NTNU campus Tor Relay rollout — proposal, outreach emails, deployment setup, FAQ — into a CC-BY 4.0 template kit other universities can adapt. https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/05/2026-onionoo-mcp-public/ https://anoni.net/docs/en/blog/2026/05/2026-onionoo-mcp-public/ Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The community's onionoo-fastapi service is now public at onionoo.anoni.net.
