Decentralized Internet projects present an incredible opportunity for privacy and freedom of association on a network replete with surveillance and filtering technology. Censorship.no applies peer-to-peer (p2p) routing technology for delivering Web content, and then uses decentralized caching to make it available to other users in that country. Cached web pages remain accessible even during periods of network censorship and shutdowns. We build on existing protocols popularized and perfected by file sharing systems over the years. Peer to peer routing and distributed storage reduces international bandwidth costs for users requesting popular content hosted outside of their countries. In this way it can reduce bandwidth costs in countries that tier their prices according to the location of requested content
