Lantern is a free, open-source VPN and censorship circumvention tool, meaning it helps you access websites and services that may be blocked in your country by routing your internet traffic through servers elsewhere. It is available for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is built with the GFW (Great Firewall) in mind as a target use case based on its topics. You can download it directly from the GitHub releases page, from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, or from several mirror hosting locations for redundancy if any link is blocked in your region. The download table provides options for stable builds, beta releases for early testing, and separate installers for different chip types on Linux. If the App Store is not available in your region, the FAQ page on the Lantern website describes alternative download steps. Lantern also maintains community forums in multiple languages, including Arabic, Farsi, Russian, Chinese, Ukrainian, and English, through GitHub Discussions and Telegram channels, so users in various regions can get support and contribute feedback.
