ReQrypt is a free tool for bypassing a local adversary. Unlike other anti-censorship tools, ReQrypt does not rely on a network of friendly two-way proxy severs, but instead uses outbound-only special server. Software discussion and official support forum.

Unlike other anti-censorship tools, ReQrypt does not rely on a network of friendly proxy severs. Instead, ReQrypt works more like a user-controllable routing tool , that lets the user redirecting outbound packets through one or more encrypted tunnel(s) – bypassing the local adversary. ReQrypt does not affect inbound traffic, which is sent via the normal route.
ReQrypt has the following advantages:
- Since ReQrypt does not rely on proxy servers, your IP address will not be changed . To the remote web server, it appears as though your traffic was sent directly from your PC unchanged (save for TTL values and fragmentation).
- Since inbound packets are sent directly from the web server to your browser, and not via a proxy server, ReQrypt is fast .
- (For tunnel operators): running a ReQrypt server is cheaper than running a proxy server, since outbound traffic (web requests) is usually much smaller than inbound traffic (web responses).
ReQrypt is effective against most lightweight filtering/logging systems that are popular in western countries, since such systems usually only intercept outbound traffic. Intercepting inbound traffic is generally more expensive and technically challenging, thus is usually ignored.
