CacheBrowser experiment: bypassing the Chinese firewall without a proxy by caching content
Today, a significant portion of all content on the Internet is distributed with the use of CDNs (Content Delivery Networks). At the same time, there is no research on how various censors extend their influence on such networks. Scientists from the University of Massachusetts analyzed possible methods of blocking CDN content using the example of the practices of the Chinese authorities, and also developed a tool to bypass such blocks.
We (specialists from proxy service) have prepared an overview material with the main conclusions and results of this experiment (translate of this material).
