The first hop, "SSH Client -> Iranian Datacenter" seems extremely vulnerable to surveillance, and would create an incriminating list of people involved. With this discussion in the open, you can bet Iranian authorities are going to specifically look for anything discussed here, so the only viable solutions should have no measurable deviation from normal behavior that would allow them to detect which datacenter was do…
maybe lorawan can be used to launder the traffic? IoT traffic obfuscators running on battery power

#54I see a lot of people suggesting services, wanting to be helpful here, when they asked for people to respond on GitHub.
If you have an idea based on your own knowledge of what they asked for,I'd put it there, that will keep them from duplicating effort.

#56Can people use a steganography app to communicate via innocuous images?
1. Take a picture.
2. Use app to insert message into picture, encrypt with passphrase.
3. SMS picture to friend or upload to Iranian equivalent of imgur (if any is up).
4. Friend loads picture into app and types passphrase to get message.
I'm not sure what a good choice of app would be, but something good must exist?

#57Just my opinion but I think that non-interventionism should be promoted here. Especially when it comes to political situations like this. It’s a dangerous game.
It’s a dangerous game.
That it is. When their society has reached a tipping point where women are burning their hijabs in the street in front of massive groups and cameras I think they have decided to not hide in the shadows and are willing to sacrifice themselves for what they believe in. Many of them are likely to have unspeakable things done to them. I suspect they know the sacrifices they are making and willing to take risks. Godspeed to them.

Because an opinion by itself doesn't add much to the discussion, if we don't know why that opinion is held. As far as I understand it and as stated the post text up top, the protesters are protesting because a woman died in the custody of the Iranian morality police. That seems like a pretty good reason to protest. If there's more to the story and the protests are actually about something different, then it would be…

+1 if y'all can explain the UX of these apps to regular folks, it's much harder to censor individual Bluetooth connections run on mobile phones than a server in a data center. If y'all can risk sending mules to a gathering to run messages between folks, it'll keep you going even if the internet gets cut off from DCs.
Worst case a mule gets captured or turns to the government in which case those messages are lost. That's all.
