Install The Tor Project's snowflake-proxy on a Raspberry Pi
Raw
README.md

Your Raspberry Pi can join The Tor Project network that helps Russians read censored news sites, including Twitter.

These are all the commands necessary to spin up a Snowflake proxy that gives Tor users a way around government attempts to block access.

You can also run a Snowflake proxy from your web browser with Firefox or Chrome. Standing it up on your Raspberry Pi is a way to support the system 24 hours a day. And, unlike other Tor server setups, it doesn't require a static IP address.

install-snowflake-proxy.sh
# Install the Go programming language
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y golang-go
# Download the Snowflake proxy code
git clone https://git.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/snowflake.git
# Move into the proxy code directory
cd snowflake/proxy
# Set a location for the log
LOG="$(pwd)/snowflake.log"
# Start up the proxy to run silently in the background while outputting its activity to the log
nohup ./proxy >"$LOG" 2>&1 &

@MOTSM-HD You first have to build the Snowflake proxy with the following commands in the /snowflake/proxy path:
go get
go build

Run every command in the script yourself and run these two commands after cd snowflake/proxy

Or use my fixed version
