Esta guía te ayudará a configurar un proxy Snowflake independiente en un servidor para ayudar a los usuarios censurados a conectarse a la red Tor.
El único requerimiento es conectividad a Internet, sin embargo, una de las principales ventajas de los proxies Snowflake independientes es que pueden ser instalados en servidores, y ofrecen un ancho de banda más alto y una opción más confiable para usuarios detrás de NATs y cortafuegos restrictivos.
Por lo tanto, recomendamos especialmente:
- Conectividad 24/7 a Internet
- Un NAT uno a uno (puedes usar esta herramienta para comportamiento de NAT para probar qué tipo de NAT tienes.
Las propiedades deseables son mapeo independiente de la dirección, y filtrado independiente o bien dependiente de la dirección)
Hay varias maneras de configurar y mantener un proxy snowflake independiente.
Configuración con Docker
Primero debes tener Docker y docker-compose instalados.
Tenemos una imagen Docker para facilitar la configuración de un proxy snowflake.
Primero descarga docker-compose.yml.
Luego, despliega el proxy ejecutando:
docker-compose up -d snowflake-proxy
Ahora deberías ver la salida:
Creating snowflake-proxy ... done
¡y tu proxy está corriendo!
Ansible
There is now an Ansible role to install a Snowflake proxy on Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, FreeBSD and Ubuntu created by Jacobo Nájera.
Follow the guide to run a Snowflake with Ansible.
Compilar y ejecutar desde el código fuente
First you will need to install and configure the Go compiler to build the standalone proxy from source code.
Please login using a user account with sudo rights or directly with root (in the later case omit the sudo part in the following commands).
If you are running Ubuntu or Debian, you can install Go by executing sudo apt install golang.
If you are using Fedora, Red Hat or Amazon Linux with sudo yum install golang or sudo dnf install golang.

You will need Go 1.15 or newer to run the Snowflake proxy.
You can check your installed version using the command go version.
Second you need the git client to download the Snowflake source code.
Please login using a user account with sudo rights or directly with root (in the later case omit the sudo part of the following commands).
If you are running Ubuntu or Debian, you can install git by executing sudo apt install git.
If you are using Fedora, Red Hat or Amazon Linux with sudo yum install git or sudo dnf install git.
Otherwise consult the documentation for your operating system.
Please execute the following steps with the user account under which the proxy should be executed.
Don't use root.
It's recommended to create a separate snowflake account with restricted rights on the system.
Clone the source code.
git clone https://git.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/snowflake.git
Build the Snowflake proxy.
cd snowflake/proxy
go build
Run the Snowflake proxy.
nohup ./proxy &
If you want to save the proxy output to a logfile, you can use:
nohup ./proxy >snowflake.log 2>&1 &
Make sure the proxy is started after a reboot of the system:
crontab -e
Enter the following line (example, adapt paths to your situation)
@reboot nohup /home/snowflake/snowflake/proxy/proxy > /home/snowflake/snowflake/proxy/snowflake.log 2>&1 &
Please verify if this is working by rebooting the system and checking the log.
On some Linux installations this might not work.
To keep your snowflake proxy updated, execute the following commands every few weeks (login with the user account you used during installing the proxy):
kill -9 $(pidof proxy)
cd snowflake/
git pull
cd proxy
go build
nohup ./proxy >snowflake.log 2>&1 &
