How does this work? I thought WebRTC is UDP and Tor is over TCP. I don't really know what I'm talking about here, but I'd like to know some details.

Basically, simulating a WebRTC call allows a user to access the Tor network in a country where connections are monitored. Through NAT Traversal two users are brought into communication without opening any ports to the outside of the network

Oh, it is part of the Tor project even. Cool. Thanks. I will read the links.

Humans need to stop naming things "Snowflake". We have too many. Perform an internet search with "snowflake SUFFIX", where SUFFIX is any other term, eg Crypto or Database or Movie, and you will get at least one hit.
