About Lantern
Lantern helps people in censored networks reach blocked websites and apps, routing traffic through its own network with protocols designed to resist blocking. It is available for desktop and mobile platforms from one codebase.
macOS installers are linked from the README and attached to GitHub releases, with separate stable and beta channels. Lantern is a circumvention tool that relies on its operator's servers, so read its privacy policy to understand what it can see.
