Psiphon --- Free and open-source Internet censorship circumvention tool for Windows and Mobile

Psiphon is a free and open-source Internet censorship circumvention tool for Windows and mobile phones. If you're using public WiFi or if your Internet is censored, you can use Psiphon to surf securely and bypassing censorship. Psiphon utilizes a combination of VPN, SSH and HTTP Proxy technology to provide you with free and uncensored access to online content.

Psiphon features "Trust, Speed, Simplicity", so it is very easy to use --- just download, click and run, and the connection speed is fine. However, Psiphon is centrally managed and "does not increase your online privacy, and should not be considered or used as an online security tool" (You should try Tor or I2P instead). Besides, it is only available on Windows, Android and iOS.

Daniel's Hosting --- Free Anonymous Tor Onion Web Hosting

Daniel's Hosting offers free Tor .onion web hosting, where you can set up your website with a .onion URL address in the tor network. This free service gives you almost everything to create a .onion site, including PHP, SQL, FTP, Mail function, and currently there is no disk usage quota. A website with a .onion domain suffix can only be accessed by Tor Browser or through some Tor proxies, but you can contact the admin to get a free clearnet subdomain of danwin1210.me, and/or an I2P domain.

However, please note this service may not be very reliable, you may lost your site because of a server hack. So make sure to backup your site and data frequently, or try some decentralized platform such as ZeroNet.

OpenNIC --- An open and democratic alternative DNS root

OpenNIC is an user owned and controlled alternative to Top-Level Domain (TLD) registries such as ICANN. This free service can help prevent DNS servers censorship and stop DNS Hijacking. You can also register various OpenNIC-operated Top-Level Domain names at no cost, including .chan (for imageboards), .cyb (cyberpunk-related), .geek ("geeky" contents), .indy (independent stuffs), .libre (non-commercial and free Internet organizations), .oss (open source software), .pirate (sharing), .null, .neo, .o (general purpose) and many others. It also supports resolution of some alternative DNS roots, such as .bit (Namecoin domains), .bazar (free marketplace with Emercoin), .coin, .emc (Emercoin) and so on.

To use OpenNIC, just change your default DNS server addresses to
IPv4 Preferred 185.121.177.177 Alternate 8.8.8.8
IPv6 Preferred 2a02:e00:fff0:fc::2 Alternate 2a0b:3c40:1:212::1
See the detailed setting up guide here: https://wiki.opennic.org/setup
Then you can visit all those non-regular domains above.

Why and How to Disable JavaScript in Your Browser

Disable JavaScript, For a Better Web!

Why should we disable JavaScript?

The short answer: "JavaScript = Advertisement = Evil".

Unlike the Flash Player, which is just a standalone plugin and can be easily uninstalled, JavaScript is built into your web browser and can never be removed completely. Fortunately, most browsers offer the option to disable JavaScript. Unlike using the third party plugins such as "AdBlock", which is as "evil" as the Flash plugin, disable JavaScript is "The Most Easy and Effect Way to Block Web Ads". Disable the "evil" JavaScript now and return to the world with clean and secure web.

So how can I remove JavaScript?

Depending on your browser (Chrome, Edge, FireFox, IE, Safari, Opera), find and follow the steps to disable JavaScript in this link.

Some websites are really user unfriendly and require me to use JavaScript to function properly, what should I do?

Option 1: Follow you heart and Do the Right thing.

Option 2: Knee down to JavaScript. Undo the steps for disabling JavaScript to enable it. Or use a separate secondary browser for JavaScript. Or selectively enable JavaScript for white-listed sites.

How to Get a Fake IP Address of a Specific Country using Tor

First, you need to download the Tor Browser Bundle at https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en and install.

Now go to the tor browser folder, e.g., "C:\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor", open the file "torrc-defaults" using notepad, find the following lines:
# If non-zero, try to write to disk less frequently than we would otherwise.
AvoidDiskWrites 1
# Where to send logging messages. Format is minSeverity[-maxSeverity]
Add the line of texts "ExitNodes (space) {CountryCode}" after the line "AvoidDiskWrites 1". For example,
where "{US}" is the coutry code for the IP address of the specific country you want to use. For example, {US} for United States, {PL} for Poland, {CN} for China. To find the country code of a specific country, you can use the table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1#Officially_assigned_code_elements

Finally, Start Tor Browser -> Connect, you can go to dnsleaktest.com to check your IP address and location.

To enable Flash Player in Tor Browser Bundle, press Alt key to show the menu, go to Tools - Add-ons (or Ctrl+Shift+A), Click Plugins, you should see the "Shockwave Flash ...", switch the setting "Never Activate" to "Ask to Activate" or "Always Activate".

Now you can view web page with flash, just click Activate Adobe Flash,then Allow and Remember or Allow Now.

If your plugins content are empty and there is no Shockwave Flash, that means Flash Player for FireFox is not installed in your system. Go to http://get.adobe.com/cn/flashplayer/ install Flash first and then restart Tor Browser and do the config again.

Note: For security reasons, manually set ExitNodes and Activate Flash Player and other scripts is not recommended. If you want to browse anonymously without the special need of using a country specific IP, it is better to use the default settings of Tor Browser.
