text: "This was a fun story - not so much in the moment, but now we can chuckle about it. On Friday before the TV show aired (the following Tuesday) Journalists tasked us to answer a bunch of questions to be completed by Monday morning. They wanted to feature our pitch in their online paper so it served us well. It just meant we could not enjoy our weekend as planned. Oh well, journalists have super busy jobs too, so no hard feelings - and they did a great job!"

text: "Improving the Network Algorithm For Pre-Calculated Paths"
- type: p
text: "A rough overview of how the SPN works is that the network first calculates a set of paths (server-side) to provide a good set of optimized, different options. These are then served to the clients who select which pre-calculated network path suits which connection best. This approach offloads heavy client-side calculations and also reduces the amount of available paths for better privacy. This month Daniel focused on optimizing the network side algorithm of the route calculations."

text: "One feedback we often received in regards to using the Portmaster was that people were uncertain whether their actions did something or not. As an example, when you clicked on \"Block Domain\", it did block the domain but there was no visual feedback to indicate that it really happened. Patrick and Luke worked on Action Confirmations and they were already pushed to production. We hope you like them - if you have ideas how to further improve just let us know!"
