Rdsys

Rdsys is short for resource distribution system: Resources related to censorship circumvention (e.g. proxies or download links) are handed out by a variety of distribution methods to censored users. The goal is to supply censored users with circumvention proxies, allowing these users to join us on the open Internet.

Rdsys supersedes BridgeDB. Functionality-wise, rdsys and BridgeDB overlap but rdsys is neither a subset nor a superset of BridgeDB's functionality.

Usage

1. Compile everything:

    make build
   

2. Generate fake bridge descriptors:

    make descriptors
   

3. Start the backend by running:

    ./backend -config conf/config.json
   

4. Start a distributor, which distributes the backend's resources:

    ./distributors -name moat -config conf/config.json
   

5. Get some bridges:

    curl http://127.0.0.1:7500/moat/circumvention/defaults |jq
