Description
This plugin will allow you to display Tor bridge information on your blog.
The intent is to let your readers find bridge IP information without the
addresses being grabbed by censoring governments and filtered. The hope is
that many people will run this plugin and make it impossible (or just very
hard) for Tor bridge information to be filtered, but still allow that
information to be available to large groups of people.
You can aggregate the bridge information from the main Tor site, or from
an RSS feed. This is configurable per widget.
You can display the bridge information with shortcodes, or widgets. You
can change the display size and location of the shortcode and of the
individual widgets.
Extraneous
RSS Support
I plan to read Tor bridge information via RSS in the following format:
RSS Feed Site
http://feedsite.com/rss/
TOR bridge RSS feed
Extra information
Extra link information
1.2.3.4:80
Extra information
Extra link information
4.3.2.1:8080
I’m not sure where this will go, but I like the idea of having a lot of
meta for each bridge address. For now it won’t be display, but in the future
it could possibly be used for something. Maybe the person providing the feed
could specify the level of obfuscation each bridge should have? Or a personal
donation link or something to keep the bridge in oepration.
Shortcode Support
You can use the shortcode tag [obfuscaTOR] to embed the image in your posts.
You can set the width, height, and alignment as well. Example:
Here is the bridge information [obfuscaTOR width=150 height=50 align=right]
This WordPress plugin is based on the ObfuscaTOR library that I put together
using several publicly available CAPTCHA image programs. You can either copy
that library out, or grab the latest from Github, and use it to develop plugins
for your favorite CMS. This is encouraged! The more plugins out there, the more
people can distribute bridge information without the censors being able to
automatically filter it.
If you write a plugin, please let me know and I can link to you. Also if you
have more CAPTCHA creation libraries or better CAPTCHA libraries please let me
know or fork the ObfuscaTOR lib on Github so we can keep improving this.
Please see the ObfuscaTOR library readme for further info.
