Tor Project closely cooperates with The Open Observatory of Network Interference. OONI provides a standardized testsuit that automatically probes a wide range of websites for evaluating the censorship status in different parts of the world, and volunteers can contribute data by running an instance.

But the objective of the project is only to identify governmental and ISP-wide censorships. And its capabilities for checking protocol-level censorship techniques are rather limited [0]. Perhaps we need a similar tool or fork for probing middleboxes and censorship in private networks.

Oooo.

How does that compare with something like RIPE ATLAS? Is there a list of such monitoring projects somewhere?
