  • 1. Telex Anticensorship system---------------------------Telex is a new approach to circumventing Internet censorship that isintended to help citizens of repressive governments access online servicesand information freely. It involves placing anticensorship technology intothe Internets core network infrastructure, through cooperation from largeISPs. Telex can convert innocuous-looking connections that pass throughthese ISPs into connections to a proxy server. Because of its position inthe network, Telex has no IP address for censors to block.Telex consists of two parts: a Telex station at the friendly ISP, and atelex-client that runs on the users system. We have created aproof-of-concept implementation, including a small demonstration "ISP"running the Telex station.For more information, see our website https://telex.cctelex-client--------------------------The Telex client program accepts TCP connections from other software onthe local machine and tunnels them to services offered by the Telexstation. For our demonstration, we have configured the Telex station toprovide HTTP proxy service.To build the telex-client from source, see the INSTALL file in thetelex-client directory.Running telex-client--------------------------After installing Telex, run the client binary from the telex-clientdirectory (from a command prompt):LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./req/local/lib ./telex-client notblocked.telex.ccOr for Windows:telex-client notblocked.telex.ccTo use Telex with your browser, change your browsers settings to use anHTTP(S) proxy of 127.0.0.1 port 8888.Our public demonstration is limited to a few websites:google.comtelex.cctwitter.comyoutube.comIf you are a researcher requiring access to other sites, please contact usat [email protected]: This software is an experimental prototype intended forresearchers. It does not provide strong security and is UNSAFE FORREAL-WORLD USE. For details of current limitations of ourproof-of-concept, please see telex-client/ISSUES.
