Description-en: Pluggable transport to circumvent IP address blocking - nodejs 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 a nodejs-based proxy to be run as a local service. It
is for people that constantly want to act as proxies for censored users.
Due to the design of the system, it more useful when installed on a machine
that continually changes IP address, such as a laptop.
.
Most end-users do not need to install this package.
