We need your help!
Haystack is a new program designed to provide unfiltered internet access to the people of Iran. The software package is compatible with Windows, Mac and Unix systems, and specifically targets the Iranian government's web filtering mechanisms.
Haystack is not an ordinary proxy system. It employs a sophisticated mathematical formula to hide users' real Internet traffic inside a continuous stream of innocuous-looking requests. In addition to providing anonymity, Haystack uses strong cryptography, ensuring that even if users' traffic is detected, it cannot be read. Trying to find and decipher our users' traffic amidst all the other traffic on the web really is like trying to find a needle in the proverbial Haystack.
Once installed Haystack will provide completely uncensored access to the internet from Iran while simultaneously protecting the user's identity. No more Facebook blocks, no more government warning pages when you try to load Twitter or access news sites -- just unfiltered Internet.
Haystack is currently available to a select number of users in Iran in our beta phase and is being prepared for a final release. We plan to start our official release of haystack as soon as we obtain the necessary funds to expand our network capacity to support a sufficiently large number of users. Haystack can support unfiltered internet for an internet user for a few pennies per day. Please consider contributing to help our cause. Please check back here for updates.
