If you visit from Cuba
The square asks for no account and no data. If anyone asks for a password in the name of Cubanos Unidos or ORGANIZAR CUBA, it is not this house.
What the square does not keep
Who visits. The server does not record connection addresses, browsers or visit times. There are no cookies and no accounts. There is nothing to hand over even if asked.
What does remain
What you write on the board is public: anyone who visits can read it, from anywhere. Once posted, it cannot be removed from your phone.
What the square cannot prevent
Your internet provider —in Cuba, ETECSA— can know that you connect to this address. It cannot see what you read or write, because the connection is encrypted, but it can see where you go. Your phone keeps a history. And if you add Cubanos Unidos to your home screen, the icon can be seen.
What is worth doing
- Connect through a VPN, Psiphon or Tor: they hide where you are connecting to.
- Do not write people’s names or addresses, or anything that identifies you. A fact works just as well without them.
- Clear your history if someone else uses or can check your phone.
- Do not add Cubanos Unidos to the home screen of a phone that others check.
- Putting up a poster is an act on the street: whoever puts it up can be seen.
Through Tor
Both houses also have an address on the Tor network. They only open in Tor Browser, they work even if the domains are blocked, and whoever watches the connection cannot see which site you visit. Same content, same board.

Before you go in
- Copy the whole address. Check that it starts with “organiz” or “cubanos” and ends exactly as shown here: a similar one may be a fake copy.
- From Cuba, if Tor Browser does not connect, choose Snowflake in its connection settings.
- At the “Safest” security level the text can be read, but the clock and the board do not work.
