Fight Censorship—In Your Sleep

Written By Carrie Winfrey

Join the Fight Against Internet Censorship
Around the world, governments use censorship to limit access to the internet and shape public opinion. In response, community-powered circumvention networks have played a crucial role—helping people in repressive countries access the full internet and share their stories freely.

Now, you can help—while you sleep.
We’re excited to share—WEPN is piloting a special project that makes it easy to contribute. WEPN Pods are home devices that enable you to counter censorship from your home internet. Their core function is to run a VPN service from your home. With the special project, anyone can broaden their impact and donate unused internet bandwidth to two trusted VPN networks—Lantern and Tor. You simply connect a WEPN home device to your internet router and enable kindness mode.

Why it matters:

  • You’ll have full control over when and how your bandwidth is shared.

  • You’ll directly strengthen tools that defend online freedom.

  • You don’t need to be technical—setup takes just a few minutes.

Interested?
If you live in the United States, Europe, Canada, or another country with a strong, uncensored internet connection, you’re in the perfect position to make a difference. If you want to participate, sign up for a device at https://go.wepn.dev/kindness25 by Nov 14. Use the code: OKT
