 Replying to [comment:1 arma]:
 > Long term, once we've resolved the zip bomb question, I think using a
 cname in the torproject.net domain will be a fine choice.

 *.torproject.net and *.torproject.org are both routinely blocked for
 residential Internet connections in the UK on the basis that they provide
 circumvention of the connection filtering. The snowflake extension itself
 doesn't provide circumvention to the user of the extension so there is a
 good basis for arguing it shouldn't be blocked (and I've had these
 arguments with <large computer security company>'s staff, who maintain
 some of the block lists) but I think their stuff doesn't really work on
 subdomains or their staff did not configure things with subdomains when
 I've made complaints. It's all or nothing.
