SR2 Communications has been the deployment lead for the Center for Digital Resilience (CDR) Link project over the last five years. We are a small team based in Scotland, and have been part of CDR Link since it was just an idea and have seen it evolve into a product that many in our community have come to rely on.
We were saddened to hear that the Center for Digital Resilience will be closing at the end of December 2026, and have taken a moment to examine what role we can play in the sustainability of hosting, maintaining, and deploying CDR Link.
Since 2021, we have provided deployment and front-line day-to-day support across CDR’s global user community. We now also maintain the secure hosting infrastructure that safeguards Link user data. Our infrastructure, internal policies and procedures have been audited by external parties.
Outside of this community, SR2 is a secure software and communications services organization that specializes in designing secure, resilient communications infrastructure for clients in government, news media, and civil society. We deploy web mirrors, bridges, Onion Services, and domain hosting in the Internet Freedom space.
Following a discussion with CDR and their board, we have agreed to become the new home for CDR Link.
We do not expect your day-to-day operations and experience to change during this transition. We hope to continue seeing you virtually at our helpdesk and providing the same level of service to all of our partners. As a team, we have many exciting new goals and ambitions for the project, but we want to ensure they all align with your exact needs. As this transition unfolds, we are eager to work with our users to ensure we are all on the same team.
Rest assured, we are committed to keeping Link open source and will keep working to improve it. We are also actively seeking donor support to help ensure the project's long-term sustainability. Over the next few months, we will be releasing updates to keep you aware of any potential changes, goals and progress towards a continued sustainable future of Link.
