Simple, scalable, cross-platform and effective solution against government censorship
Nowadays Internet censorship is introducing in many countries: governments analyze and block traffic to this sites using DPI - Deep Packet Inspection systems, forcing you using circumvention utilities like VPN, for example. That approach have many disadvantages, most noticeable - connection speed slowdown. In addition, these services cannot guarantee work stability and your data confidence.
PowerTunnel is active DPI circumvention utility, that works only on your PC and don't send your traffic to third-party servers, respecting your privacy and do not slowing down your internet connection.
PowerTunnel is more than a regular anti-censorship utility - using it, you can monitor your traffic and block any connection, advertising, for example.
PowerTunnel establishes a transparent proxy server on your PC and directs your traffic through it, applying DPI circumvention tricks.
You can compile a binary yourself or download prepared binary here.
The installation process is described in detail on the Wiki.
Most likely your ISP blocked the website you need by IP address, so only encrypted tunnel (VPN/Tor) can help you.
Also, you can try launching PowerTunnel with -full-chunking argument.
You can monitor network activity, block and whitelist websites through Java Swing-based user interface when console mode is off or through PowerTunnel Monitor.
