About

This is a very simple tool which replicates articles from another source (e.g blog or forum). If the source content is removed, or even the whole source website disappears, the articles will remain readable on the mirror. The entire concept is to set up as many mirrors as possible, so that, when an article is published, it is replicated all over the place, making censorship much more difficult. The code is based on “Autoblog”.

You can see a live example running at the following URL: http://rodoh.mirror.k0nsl.org/
