This plugin will allow you to display Tor bridge information on your blog.<\/p>\n\n
The intent is to let your readers find bridge IP information without the \naddresses being grabbed by censoring governments and filtered. The hope is \nthat many people will run this plugin and make it impossible (or just very \nhard) for Tor bridge information to be filtered, but still allow that \ninformation to be available to large groups of people.<\/p>\n\n
You can aggregate the bridge information from the main Tor site, or from\nan RSS feed. This is configurable per widget.<\/p>\n\n
You can display the bridge information with shortcodes, or widgets. You\ncan change the display size and location of the shortcode and of the \nindividual widgets.<\/p>\n\n
RSS Support\nI plan to read Tor bridge information via RSS in the following format:<\/p>\n\n
\n \n RSS Feed Site\n http:\/\/feedsite.com\/rss\/\n \n TOR bridge RSS feed\n \n \n Extra information\n Extra link information\n \n 1.2.3.4:80\n \n \n \n Extra information\n Extra link information\n \n 4.3.2.1:8080\n \n \n \n<\/p>\n\n
I'm not sure where this will go, but I like the idea of having a lot of\nmeta for each bridge address. For now it won't be display, but in the future\nit could possibly be used for something. Maybe the person providing the feed\ncould specify the level of obfuscation each bridge should have? Or a personal\ndonation link or something to keep the bridge in oepration.<\/p>\n\n
Shortcode Support\nYou can use the shortcode tag [obfuscaTOR] to embed the image in your posts.\nYou can set the width, height, and alignment as well. Example:<\/p>\n\n
Here is the bridge information [obfuscaTOR width=150 height=50 align=right]<\/p>\n\n
This Wordpress plugin is based on the ObfuscaTOR library that I put together \nusing several publicly available CAPTCHA image programs. You can either copy \nthat library out, or grab the latest from Github, and use it to develop plugins \nfor your favorite CMS. This is encouraged! The more plugins out there, the more\npeople can distribute bridge information without the censors being able to \nautomatically filter it.<\/p>\n\n
If you write a plugin, please let me know and I can link to you. Also if you \nhave more CAPTCHA creation libraries or better CAPTCHA libraries please let me \nknow or fork the ObfuscaTOR lib on Github so we can keep improving this.<\/p>\n\n
Please see the ObfuscaTOR library readme for further info.<\/p>\n\n\n
This has been tested on 2.8.4 and 2.8.5 on a Linux and Windows system. You \nshould immediatley be up and running.<\/p>\n\n
There are more configuration options however:<\/p>\n\n
As of 1.1 there is now widget support, and that is the default operation.<\/p>\n\n
Checking for new bridges:\nThis plugins uses a simple cacheing system to store bridge information. The \ninformation you receive from the bridges.torproject site is only renewed every \nfew hours(12 or more I think). This means there is no need to generate extra \ntraffic for your own network, and for Tor's network, with unecessary requests. \nThis option lets you choose how often to check for new bridge information.<\/p><\/li>\n
Recreate Image:\nGenerating the image takes a second or two, so it can end up slowing down your \nblog load time. Since there isn't new bridge information very often, there is \nreally no need generate a new image on every page request. Every now and then \nyou get a bad image though, so there is a box you can check which will generate \na new image immediatley.<\/p><\/li>\n
Image Size:\nThe height and width of the generated image<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
