[Infowarrior] - Announcing psiphon anti-web-censorship availability

[Richard Forno]

psiphon is a human rights software project developed by the Citizen Lab at
the Munk Centre for International Studies that allows citizens in uncensored
countries to provide unfettered access to the Net through their home
computers to friends and family members who live behind firewalls of states
that censor.

What is psiphon?

psiphon is a censorship circumvention solution that allows users to access
blocked sites in countries where the Internet is censored. psiphon turns a
regular home computer into a personal, encrypted server capable of
retrieving and displaying web pages anywhere

 How does psiphon work?

psiphon acts as a "web proxy" for authenticated psiphonites, retrieving
requested web pages and displaying them in a user's browser. psiphon uses a
secure, encrypted connection to receive web requests from the psiphonite to
the psiphonode who then transports the results back to the psiphonite. There
is no connection between the psiphonite and the requested website, as
psiphon transparently proxies the request through the psiphonode's computer
allowing the psiphonite to browse blocked websites seamlessly.
