Compile it yourself or download it here
Launch PowerTunnel and start the server. In the PowerTunnel folder will be appear configuration files: government-blacklist.txt, user-blacklist.txt, user-whitelist.txt and isp-stub.txt.
Blocklist is not enabled by default, but it can speed up PowerTunnel performance.
If you want to use blocklist, you should fill the government-blacklist.txt. You need to get blacklist list of the your country government without such markers as http://, https://, www. and etc. Only host name.
For a better DPI bypass fill the isp-stub.txt. You should put the your ISP stub address. ISP stub is the page where you are redirected to when connecting to a blocked HTTP website.
If you're living in Russia, you can use this auto-updated list as government blocklist. Since v1.8 you can use -government-blacklist-from [URL] for auto-fill.
This is optional. You can block domains putting them into user-blacklist.txt, trackers and ads for example. If you need to block 2-level domain but need to using 3-level domain of the same website add it to user-whitelist.txt
You can also block Google Ads servers to get rid of advertising.
If you're using Windows, proxy server should've been setup automatically. If it wasn't, follow this instruction. Proxy IP and port is visible in the PowerTunnel window, i.e.:
If you're using a Linux distribution/macOS, google instruction for it.
If you're using Windows 10 it's highly recommended to add all Microsoft servers to the exception list.
Start PowerTunnel Proxy Server. You will be able to access the Internet until it's running. If you will decide to stop using PowerTunnel just stop the server and disable system-wide proxy.
