Telex Anticensorship system --------------------------- Telex is a new approach to circumventing Internet censorship that is intended to help citizens of repressive governments access online services and information freely. It involves placing anticensorship technology into the Internet's core network infrastructure, through cooperation from large ISPs. Telex can convert innocuous-looking connections that pass through these ISPs into connections to a proxy server. Because of its position in the network, Telex has no IP address for censors to block. Telex consists of two parts: a Telex station at the friendly ISP, and a telex-client that runs on the user's system. We have created a proof-of-concept implementation, including a small demonstration "ISP" running the Telex station. For more information, see our website https://telex.cc telex-client -------------------------- The Telex client program accepts TCP connections from other software on the local machine and tunnels them to services offered by the Telex station. For our demonstration, we have configured the Telex station to provide HTTP proxy service. To build the telex-client from source, see the INSTALL file in the telex-client directory. Running telex-client -------------------------- After installing Telex, run the client binary from the telex-client directory (from a command prompt): LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./req/local/lib ./telex-client notblocked.telex.cc Or for Windows: telex-client notblocked.telex.cc To use Telex with your browser, change your browser's settings to use an HTTP(S) proxy of 127.0.0.1 port 8888. Reported Blocking -------------------------- On Sep 16, 2011 we confirmed reports of DNS blocking in China for the notblocked.telex.cc domain. Since our current deployment only has a handful of websites that can be used as unblocked websites, this is an effective method of blocking until Telex is deployed on a wider scale. A partial list of domains that can be used to communicate with telex is shown below: notblocked.telex.cc notreallyblocked.telex.cc jhalderm.com -------------------------- WARNING: This software is an experimental prototype intended for researchers. It does not provide strong security and is UNSAFE FOR REAL-WORLD USE. For details of current limitations of our proof-of-concept, please see telex-client/ISSUES.
