Internet Censorship Circumvention
Internet censorship circumvention is the use of various methods and tools to bypass internet censorship. Commonly used tools include Lantern and Psiphon, which bypass multiple safeguard types. Some methods use alternate DNS servers, false addresses or address lookup systems to evade less sophisticated blocking tools. However, such methods do not work if censors block the IP address of restricted domains in addition to DNS, rendering the bypass ineffective. Other tools tunnel network traffic to proxies in jurisdictions without censorship. Through pluggable transports, traffic obscuration, website mirrors, or archive sites, copies of sites can be accessed in areas under internet censorship. An arms race has developed between censors and developers of circumvention software, resulting in more sophisticated blocking techniques by censors and the development of harder-to-detect tools by tool developers. Estimates of adoption of circumvention tools are disputed, but are widely un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It makes it harder to reveal their identity and thereby helps preserve their perceived security while browsing World Wide Web, the web or using other internet services. Real anonymity and extensive internet security might not be achieved by this measure alone as website operators can use Client (computing), client-side scripts to determine the brow ...
