What is Runet Censorship Bypass?
'Runet Censorship Bypass' is a Firefox extension designed to bypass internet censorship in Russia. The add-on allows users to access blocked websites including oppositional political sites, libraries, and encyclopedias. It achieves this by implementing a PAC-script that works via servers of https://antizapret.prostovpn.org. The PAC-script is updated every 12 hours, requiring about 6MB a day. The extension also features a symbol of EFF campaign for Online Freedom of Speech, Press, and Association.
