THANK YOU to all volunteer testers who shared their feedback so we could make stability improvements ahead of launch. Right now, there are 60 WebTunnel bridges hosted all over the world, and more than 700 daily active users using it on different platforms: https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-transport.html?start=2023-12-08&end=2024-03-07&transport=webtunnel
If you've ever considered becoming a Tor bridge operator to help others connect to Tor, now is an excellent time to get started! You can find the requirements and instructions for running a WebTunnel bridge in the Tor Community portal: https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/webtunnel/
