[Windows] Anonymity and anti-censorship picks
Just a dump of programs I use regularly.
Tor Browser
Quote:
Tor Browser isolates each website you visit so third-party trackers and ads can't follow you. Any cookies automatically clear when you're done browsing. So will your browsing history. Tor Browser prevents someone watching your connection from knowing what websites you visit. All anyone monitoring your browsing habits can see is that you're using Tor. Tor Browser aims to make all users look the same, making it difficult for you to be fingerprinted based on your browser and device information. Your traffic is relayed and encrypted three times as it passes over the Tor network. The network is comprised of thousands of volunteer-run servers known as Tor relays. With Tor Browser, you are free to access sites your home network may have blocked.
Likelihood you already know this one is very high.

OnionShare
Quote:
OnionShare is an open source tool for securely and anonymously sending and receiving files using Tor onion services. It works by starting a web server directly on your computer and making it accessible as an unguessable Tor web address that others can load in Tor Browser to download files from you, or upload files to you. It doesn't require setting up a separate server, using a third party file-sharing service, or even logging into an account.
Does what it's supposed to. A small side effect of using Tor is that neither sender nor receiver need to forward any ports.

GoodbyeDPI
Quote:
This software designed to bypass Deep Packet Inspection systems found in many Internet Service Providers which block access to certain websites. It handles DPI connected using optical splitter or port mirroring (Passive DPI) which do not block any data but just replying faster than requested destination, and Active DPI connected in sequence.
Already has its own thread at http://www.sb-innovation.de/showthread.php?t=34449.

PowerTunnel
Quote:
PowerTunnel is active DPI circumvention utility, that works only on your PC and don't send your traffic to third-party servers, respecting your privacy and do not slowing down your internet connection. PowerTunnel is more than a regular anti-censorship utility - using it, you can monitor your traffic and block any connection, advertising, for example.
Same as GoodbyeDPI, but works as a local proxy and has some interesting SNI tricks.

Acrylic DNS Proxy
Quote:
Acrylic is a local DNS proxy for Windows which improves the performance of your computer by caching the responses coming from your DNS servers and helps you fight unwanted ads through a custom HOSTS file optimized for handling hundreds of thousands of domain names and with additional support for wildcards and regular expressions. With the proper configuration Acrylic can be used together with: TOR to reap the benefits of the TOR network at the DNS level; DNSCrypt to provide both increased security and increased speed; DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers to provide both increased security and increased speed.
Much easier to set up than dnscrypt-proxy or Unbound while still providing the most important functionality.

Bonus track: TCPioneer
Quote:
TCPioneer is a program for Windows that protects the TCP connections from being interfered.
I haven't actually tried this one yet, but apparently it works in China :unsure:
