Ceno Browser | Share the Web

Let's build a better internet together

Become a Bridge

People running Ceno from countries with open access to the internet, or from parts of the world where access to the internet is reliable, can help those in heavily restricted networks access the internet by becoming a "Bridge." Running a Bridge is a very simple yet powerful action, enabling you to share internet content with others.

Learn more about becoming a Bridge.

The simple way:

Run Ceno Browser on your Android device, and/or on a spare, always-on device.

Run the Ceno Docker Client:

  1. With just one command you can set up a bridge on your computer or VPS:
    sudo docker run --name ceno-client -dv ceno:/var/opt/ouinet --network host --restart unless-stopped equalitie/ceno-client
  2. Open a portal to the internet: Ensure UPnP is enabled on your router, or set up port forwarding.
  3. To see if it's working, create and open a new Firefox Profile, and set the proxy to localhost, port 8077.
  4. Install the Ceno Web Extension and the provided certificate to test it out!
