Bypass Censorship Tools
The Internet can provide unprecedented freedom of information, but in some nations throughout the world, this is not nearly guaranteed. That’s where networks such as Tor come in. These networks allow users in nations where Internet access is severely limited or censored to circumvent these restrictions and access the information that many believe to be a human right to access.
- Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.
- Windscribe is a desktop application and browser extension that work together to block ads and trackers, restore access to blocked content and help you safeguard your privacy online.

Warning
This app is suspected of malicious behavior, though these accusations are in dispute. The software allegedly connects to websites of financial and government institutions, and uses the PC for attacks against them. It disables SSL certificate checks and allows man-in-the-middle attacks to steal authentication credentials. It hooks into the browser and uses suspicious compression to hide parts of the program.
