Use Picidae to access blocked and censored websites

Picidae is offering a new method of accessing websites that are either blocked or censored in your country, including countries that are known for censoring the Internet such as China, Iran and many other countries. Instead of just supplying a proxy that is used to disguise the original url of the website that is blocked Picidae creates layers of the website displaying all clickable links as image maps in one layer.

All forms are added as well in another layer, including search boxes and the like for instance. The Picidae test server is really fast and was able to deliver an image of Ghacks in just a few seconds, did not take much longer than loading the websites normally. The script is offered on the website as well and everyone may setup a Picidae server on his own dedicated server.

Even webspace owners can take part by offering an additional layer of protection. They can install a Picidae proxy that is connected to a Picidae server. This would mean that even if the server would be blocked it could still be accessed by using a Picidae proxy.

Picidae is especially useful when searching Google or other search engines in a country that is know to block certain search results. The Picidae script is able to query the search engines that are outside of your country which means that you will receive uncensored search results.
