Description-en: Pluggable transport to circumvent IP address blocking - browser proxy
Flashproxy is a tool to circumvent censorship by setting up many, generally
ephemeral, browser-based proxies, with the goal of outpacing a censor's
ability to enumerate and block the IP addresses of those proxies. Censored
clients can then connect to a Tor relay via these proxies, by using a
hard-to-block, low-bandwidth registration system called the facilitator.
.
This package contains the browser proxy to be served from a web server.
Visitors to this website can then act as ephemeral proxies for censored users.
.
Most end-users do not need to install this package.
