Browser-based Tor SSH with Snowflake bridges when native Tor + SSH already exists.

Strengths
  • Snowflake WebRTC bridges obscure direct Tor relay connections from client IP
  • PWA + IndexedDB caching eliminates server dependency after initial trusted load
  • Zero analytics or third-party services—genuine privacy implementation
Weaknesses
  • Browser-based Tor inherently slower than native Tor client for SSH sessions
  • Snowflake broker can still observe Tor connection attempts (documented limitation)
