ReQrypt

From workplace hubs to public WiFi, more and more Internet connections are being filtered and censored. While a VPN tool could help you get around the filtering, sometimes you may need to rely on more complex tools to bypass the censorship.

ReQrypt is a tiny tool designed to help you shunt filters imposed by the Internet Service Provider, local network forced transparent proxying and even data-logging or government snooping systems. What makes the tool stand out is that it does not rely on proxy servers or a network, but rather it acts like a user-controlled routing tool that redirects outbound packets via more encrypted tunnels.

Despite the modus operandi, you should bear in mind that the app does not affect the inbound traffic and does not change your IP address. In other words, for the web server, it seems as though the traffic is directed in and from your computer without the fragmentation and TTL values being changed.

It is worth mentioning that because the traffic is sent directly from the server to your local browser, it does not slow down your connection, as it is the case when using certain proxy servers. According to the developer, the tool can be particularly useful against the lightweight filtering system commonly used in Western countries, especially since they are designed to intercept outbound traffic mostly.
