The Global Proxy Cloud (GPC) is a network of services around the world run by supporters to enable activists to access a free and open internet. Together, these tools enable activists to harness the open, unmonitored internet, enabling the transfer of information from and within local communities behind the firewall to each other, the international media, and the global community. The GPC benefits activists, dissidents, politically censored groups, and curious individuals in heavily censured countries. It is easy to use, with a low technical knowledge threshold to get involved. Working closely with the Tor Project, a non-profit devoted to allowing people to protect their internet traffic from analysis, the GPC employs tools that are well-tested, robust, and shown to be capable of accessing banned websites in many different environments.
