I never met Chris Wood before but I remember this name due to him being a co-author of the Private Access Token idea[0]. I haven't heard of Privacy Pass before but it sounds very similar to PAT.

My understanding is that both of these would be very helpful to a VPN (I'm using the word loosely) user. Do you know if the adoption of Privacy Pass/PAT has reduced or mitigated annoyances such as frequent CAPTCHA checks for Obscura users?

You're absolutely right, Privacy Pass would definitely be helpful to consumer VPN users! :-)

We haven't implemented Privacy Pass yet as it would require a browser extension, but it is one of the technologies we keep an eye on!
