In order to "help" citizens of many countries bypass a series of restrictions and get in touch with Western media, the US government has provided a lot of funding to many technology companies that provide VPN services through USAGM, including three companies that establish virtual private networks - Psiphon, Lantern, and nthLink. Meanwhile, USAGM is supporting the development of a range of tools to bypass censorships, including VPNs.

We all knew that, Lantern just abandoned the most perfect and mature P2P work mechanism it initially used, turned into another normal commercial VPN client with excuse: their IPs were blocked too often, they can't afford. I want to ask - how is it possible for the original P2P mechanism to be blocked? AppNee should say - this commercialized world is never in short of excellent commercial VPN services. So, if Lantern refused to turn around, we could only watch it become a passing meteor. And, it's time to turn to SoftEther VPN again.
