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.
- Unzip this plugin into your wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Activate it in the wordpress admin section.
- Put the obfuscaTOR widget wherever you like in your sidebar
This has been tested on 2.8.4 and 2.8.5 on a Linux and Windows system. You
should immediatley be up and running.
There are more configuration options however:
- Image Placement:
This is where you would like your image displayed. I have included a few
popular areas that are used in most Wordpress themes. If you need a new
area please let me know.
As of 1.1 there is now widget support, and that is the default operation.
- Checking for new bridges:
This plugins uses a simple cacheing system to store bridge information. The
information you receive from the bridges.torproject site is only renewed every
few hours(12 or more I think). This means there is no need to generate extra
traffic for your own network, and for Tor's network, with unecessary requests.
This option lets you choose how often to check for new bridge information.
- Recreate Image:
Generating the image takes a second or two, so it can end up slowing down your
blog load time. Since there isn't new bridge information very often, there is
really no need generate a new image on every page request. Every now and then
you get a bad image though, so there is a box you can check which will generate
a new image immediatley.
- Image Size:
The height and width of the generated image
