Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Lantern Action Mode

The widget bundle is deferred, so it does not block rendering. The proxy engine

No. The switch is off on page load and the proxy engine is not downloaded until a visitor turns it on. Turning it off, navigating away, or closing the tab stops it.

Volunteers relay encrypted traffic; they are not the exit point, so traffic does not appear to originate from their connection. The widget also detects when a visitor appears to be in a censored region and warns them before they opt in. See the privacy policy for details.

Yes, with the browsers_unbounded_script_url filter. Be aware that a self-hosted copy is pinned to whatever build you copied and will eventually fall out of step with the network, so the hosted URL is the default.

The product was called Browsers Unbounded, then Unbounded, and is now Lantern Action Mode. The element name is the widget's public API and renaming it would break every existing embed, so it stayed.
