Lantern's goal is access: creating fast, reliable connections to the open Internet. With Lantern, every computer can act as a server. By running Lantern, every user with uncensored access can become an access point for those without, providing gateways to censored sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
Lantern is a free peer-to-peer internet censorship circumvention software. It provides a way to bypass state-sanctioned filtration through a network of trusted users, but it's not an anonymity tool like Tor.Using Lantern, users in countries having free internet access can share their bandwidth with those who are in countries where the network is partly blocked. Network connections will be dispersed between multiple computers running Lantern so it will not put undue stress on a single connection or computer.
Please join us for a talk from Lantern's CEO and Lead Software Engineer, Adam Fisk, a former lead engineer of LimeWire and LittleShoot, as he presents an overview of the Lantern project
"Sometimes the Internet wins by banding together as a community. Sometimes we win through clever technical tricks. This time, the problem requires both: we need to come together around tools like this to get a victory." - Holmes Wilson, fightforthefuture.org/
