A tool for creating an “unbreakable” internet under oppressive censoring regimes
- sfusato 4y agoLantern is a free peer-to-peer internet censorship circumvention tool, used for casual web browsing. It provides a way to bypass state-sanctioned filtration through a network of trusted users, but it's not an anonymity tool like Tor. Using Lantern, users in countries having free internet access can share their bandwidth with those who are in countries where the network is partly blocked. Network connections will be dispersed between multiple computers running Lantern so it will not put undue stress on a single connection or computer. The software is financed by US$2.2 million (HK$17.1 million) seed funding by the US State Department. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantern_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantern_(software)
