GPass wraps the network traffic of your Internet applications in various formats and tunnels the wrapped packets through various dynamic channels to its servers. The GPass servers unwrap the packets and forward them to their destination on your behalf, yet they hide your identity (i.e., IP address). (Source Main Site)

GPass is free for personal use within selected countries where unjust Internet jamming is prevalent.

How freegate works

“The software takes advantage of a range of proxy servers assigned to changeable internet addresses, which allows users in China access to sites banned by the Chinese government. The program exploits open proxies, which allow users to penetrate firewalls used to block web sites” - (Source Wikipedia.com)

6) Freenet

Freenet is free software which lets you publish and obtain information on the Internet without fear of censorship. To achieve this freedom, the network is entirely decentralized and publishers and consumers of information are anonymous. Without anonymity there can never be true freedom of speech, and without decentralization the network will be vulnerable to attack. (Source Main Site)

Originally sponsored by the US Naval Research Laboratory, Tor became an Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) project in late 2004. The EFF supported Tor financially until November 2005, and continues to provide web hosting for the project.” – (Source Wikipedia.com)
