📄 Tor Design Proposal #329 (Traffic Splitting)
https://spec.torproject.org/proposals/329-traffic-splitting.html
If you’ve ever used Tor and found yourself waiting forever for pages to load, you’re not alone. In this video, we break down one of Tor users’ biggest bottlenecks: speed. But more importantly, we explore Conflux, a game-changing proposal designed to make Tor faster and more usable—without sacrificing privacy.
You’ll learn how Conflux works under the hood, what makes it different from the traditional three-relay model, and why it matters for casual users, journalists, activists, and darknet market users alike. We go beyond the buzzwords, using real-world analogies to explain dual-circuit routing, performance gains, potential security implications, and the real risks and trade-offs involved.
If you care about privacy, anonymity, or just want a faster, more stable experience on Tor—this is the update you’ve been waiting for.
