## Description

This project is a censorship circumvention proxy client and cross-platform installer. It provides software designed to bypass internet filters, restrictive network firewalls, and the Great Firewall of China to enable access to blocked global websites.

The software enables the download and installation of proxy and VPN clients across multiple desktop and mobile operating systems. These tools route traffic to bypass national firewalls and restrictive network filters.

The project also covers network access acceleration to improve connection stability when accessing foreign servers and the management of VPN installations to encrypt traffic.
