Abstract	In many countries, the Internet is under stringent censorship for political or religious reasons which severely undermines the free flow of information. A censorship-resistant web browsing system must be scalable, blocking resistant, and tracing resistant. However, current censorship-resistant web browsing systems, which use a group of dedicated proxies to bypass censorship, fail to meet these requirements. To tackle these challenges, we propose Free web, which relies on widely-distributed peer-to-peer (P2P) nodes in a decentralized manner rather than specified proxies in a centralized manner. Free web is built on top of a Distributed Hash Table (DHT)-based P2P network, where nodes not under censorship help nodes under censorship to access blocked web pages. Free web has a web browser front end whose user interface resembles existing web browsers. The underlying complex process of retrieving blocked web pages is therefore hidden from users. We implemented and open-sourced Free web and conducted extensive real-world experiments on Planet Lab. The experimental results show that Free web has a high success rate and reasonable browsing latency.
