Anti-Censorship HTTP Proxy
Now, more and more countries are doing their censorship on internet. In China, many websites such as Wikipedia (Chinese Version) can’t be visited because there’re some sensitive words on them, even you are using proxies.
I am planning to develop a proxy which could wrap connections between clients and proxy into SSL connections, so that words on the websites can’t be censored. The working diagram is shown below:
If you want to visit http://zh.wikipedia.org, just enter https://zh.wikipedia.org in the address bar. So the data transfered through the blue line are encrypted and can’t be filtered by censorship firewalls.
But it still has some problem, if the client request a SSL website, the proxy can’t differentiate them from fake SSL request.
Actually, I even have no idea if squid could do this.
