Isn't that just NAT through a SOCKS proxy as transport. Never would have imaged that use case.

Let me clarify --

I never would have imagined SOCKS being used for this use case. There was no such thing as geo-restrictions or censorship at the time on the internet.

I mean I urge folks who have the ability to direct some of their company's money towards Tor. It's directly helping both Ukranian and Russian citizens right now.

Sure Tor helps Ukrainian and Russian citizens, but I urge the Tor foundation to question themselves and to stop accepting crypto token donations and grants. It acts as an endorsement and emboldens the cryptobros, enthusiasts and fans to pump the price of the token.

You could condition your companies annual grant on that, and make it large enough that they'd forgo crypto.

Most people using tor aren't terrorists, oligarchs, extremists or career criminals though.

I'm actually moving the goal posts, and I should be explicit. I'm using career criminals to differentiate from people who are violating laws but not for personal gain, for example those that require them to use censored services, or buying drugs, both of which may be technically criminal in their countries.
