Runet Censorship Bypass

Runet Censorship Bypass

This extension allows bypassing censorship of Russian government (i.e. only sites blocked by RosKomNadzor, RKN), giving you access to libraries, encyclopedias, oppositional political sites, and to innocent sites blocked to many reasons.

What is Runet Censorship Bypass?
Runet Censorship Bypass is a Firefox add-on enabling users to avoid internet censorship by the Russian government. It provides access to blocked sites such as libraries, encyclopedias, and political resources without impacting non-blocked sites. Leveraging a PAC-script, it requires minimal resources while keeping users informed through browser icon updates about the accessibility status of web pages.
