+Blocking-resistant communication through domain fronting
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+David Fifield, lead developer of the meek [XXX] pluggable transport,
+co-authored a paper [XXX] entitled “Blocking-resistant communication
+through domain fronting”, the technique that meek (along with other
+software such as Lantern and Psiphon) uses to ensure that its connections
+to the Tor network can’t be blocked by a censor without incurring
+significant collateral damage. The paper is based on the experience of
+operating domain-fronting systems on the real network. Congratulations
+to the researchers on this milestone in their project!
+
+David also published the monthly summary of costs [XXX] incurred by
+the infrastructure for meek. Rate-limits have now been imposed
+on some backends in order to keep the operating costs sustainable.
+This sophisticated pluggable transport is a vital tool for thousands of
+users in areas that censor all other circumvention systems, so if you
+know of (or are) a friendly funder looking for a worthy project to
+support, please let the community know!
