| Description: |
ProxyTools is a package of Perl network utilities designed to assist those whose Internet access is censored, unreliable, or otherwise damaged. Uncensored access is provided to any outside service required (Usenet News, Web browsing, IRC, Socks etc.). Setup requires installation of Perl and some modules; this is doable by even a novice MS Windows user with email instruction, allowing help to be provided to those inside these countries from expert users outside.
The project is of interest to the following groups of people:
those who live in Internet censoring countries (or corporations, schools, universities) such as the Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria), China, etc.
those who are interested in Perl code dealing with many aspects of networks at the socket level, and transactions using HTTP proxies.
those who administer the firewalls which do the censoring, and those who might be considering this.
