What is this?Lantern is a free, open-source censorship circumvention tool — a VPN focused on speed, privacy, and getting around internet blocks.
How do I get it running?Grab an installer from the Downloads section (website or app store links). Stable versions have multiple mirror links, and if your region's App Store blocks Lantern there are documented workaround steps.
Should I use the stable or beta version?Stable for reliability. The beta is an early release that may be unstable, but the team ships it to collect feedback that improves the app.
I don't speak English well — is Lantern available in my language?Yes. The project is localized into Arabic, Belarusian, Farsi, Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese, and there are Telegram channels for Farsi, Russian, and Chinese speakers.
Which devices can I install it on?Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux — Linux builds come for both amd64 and arm64.
What powers Lantern under the hood?The app is written mainly in Dart with Go components, and the repo ships a Dockerfile, a Makefile, and CI workflows that build the Android and iOS apps.
How can I help test new versions?Install the beta build and report what breaks — there are dedicated beta-tester Telegram groups for Persian, Russian, and Chinese speakers.
