Lantern

Lantern provides fast, reliable, and secure access to the open internet by routing traffic through a large, constantly shuffled pool of IP addresses. It uses open‑source stealth protocols that blend with regular internet traffic, making the connection difficult to detect and block. The service is positioned as a broader solution than traditional VPNs, aiming to overcome strict network restrictions and censorship.

The application is available for Android, Windows, iOS, macOS, and Linux, offering a one‑click connection for users without technical expertise. It supports customizable split tunneling, allowing users to select which applications are routed through Lantern or to let the software automatically choose apps that need unblocking. Security is reinforced by encryption and the frequent rotation of IP addresses.

Lantern is an open‑source, free‑tier utility that has reached a stable maturity level and is used by millions of people seeking unrestricted internet access across diverse devices.
