      ## What is it
    </p>
    <p>
      PowerTunnel is an extensible proxy server built on top of [LittleProxy](https://github.com/adamfisk/LittleProxy).
    </p>
    <p>
      PowerTunnel provides an SDK that allows you to extend its functionality however you like, and even handle encrypted HTTPS traffic (powered by [LittleProxy-MITM](https://github.com/ganskef/LittleProxy-mitm)), which can be especially useful in web development. PowerTunnel has an Android version, so any plugin you write can work on almost all devices.
    </p>
    <p>
      PowerTunnel was originally developed and is best known as a censorship bypass tool. This functionality has been spun off in the [LibertyTunnel](https://github.com/krlvm/LibertyTunnel) plugin which is installed by default, just like [DNS Resolver](https://github.com/krlvm/PowerTunnel-DNS) with DNS over HTTPS support.
    </p>
    <p>
      #### Anti-censorship tool
    </p>
    <p>
      Digital censorship has become widespread in authoritarian and developing countries: governments install DPI - Deep Packet Inspection systems - for Internet Service Providers, which allows analyzing and blocking traffic to websites they don&apos;t want you to see, forcing you to use slow and often paid proxies or VPN services with dubious privacy policy.
    </p>
    <p>
      PowerTunnel is an active DPI circumvention utility - it works only on your PC and do not route your traffic through some third-party webservers. It creates a local proxy server on your device and diverts your HTTP(S) traffic there, where PowerTunnel modifies your traffic in a special way to exploit bugs in DPI systems which makes it possible to bypass the lock - without (significantly) slowing down your Internet connection.
    </p>
    <p>
      Anti-censorship module can be configured in Plugins window - it is called LibertyTunnel.
    </p>
    <p>
      In this sense, PowerTunnel is a free cross-platform implementation of [GoodbyeDPI](https://github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI) written in Java.
    </p>
    <p>
      Please, note that PowerTunnel does not change your IP address.
