“Uncensored access to the Internet can overthrow dictators and
aid the creation of free societies. This has been shown by recent
events in North Africa and the Middle East. Whether in Tunisia,
Egypt or Libya – the revolution is inseparably linked to free
communication and unhindered access to independent news and
media.

“Till today the Torservers.net project has been graciously
financed by private donations from supporters. Now, founder Moritz
Bartl and his team have partnered with Access Now. Torservers.net
has received a $10,000 US Dollars grant from Access Now that allows
for a major capacity upgrade as an immediate tech response to
support freedom movements all around the globe. This makes
Torservers.net the largest operator on the Tor network.”
