Kosmos Global Access Proxy

Problem Description

In today's interconnected world, the free flow of information is as vital as the flow of water. The internet is a digital ecosystem where ideas, knowledge, and connections nourish the global community. Yet, over 2 billion people live under the constraints of state-mandated internet censorship, which cuts off access to essential information and imposes arbitrary isolation.

Traditional solutions like VPNs once offered an effective means to bypass these restrictions. However, censors have adapted, learning to identify and block VPN traffic, leaving millions once again stranded in digital isolation.

Discover Kosmos Global Access Proxy

Kosmos is a revolutionary Global Access Proxy that implements advanced obfuscation technology to make internet traffic secure and undetectable. Unlike VPNs, which are easily identifiable, Kosmos disguises your traffic to look indistinguishable from typical uncensored HTTPS traffic. This ensures that you can access the information you need, no matter where you are in the world.

Kosmos was developed by a team of UC Berkeley graduate students inspired by the ideals of internet freedom and humanist principles. Our mission is to ensure that everyone, everywhere, has the right to access the open internet freely and safely. By using Kosmos, you are not just securing your own connection; you are joining a movement towards a more open, connected, and equal world.
