Recognizing that this is very last minute, we are moving the October VPN Community Gathering up by two weeks to this Thursday, October 13th, to address the urgent needs facing individuals in Iran. Several community members have requested a space to meet with others working on the current situation in order to:
- Discuss the current state of blocking and network outages in Iran;
- Share respective initiatives supporting users in Iran;
- Share challenges and successes in keeping Iranians connected through blocking and network manipulation;
- Establish a continued channel for collaboration around network monitoring and supporting users in Iran.
If you are working on researching, distributing or using circumvention technologies in Iran, we would love for you to join and share your experiences and collaborate.
