Questions and Answers

How will running Lantern affect performance on my computer?

Lantern's goal is to be as lightweight and unobtrusive as possible. In Get Mode, you shouldn't even notice it's running, outside of being able to access previously blocked sites of course. In Give Mode, a portion of your internet connection may intermittently be donated to other users, but based on the other users online at the time, you may not even notice. We plan to intelligently limit the resources Lantern consumes while you're using your computer in the future (see #19).

Is Lantern free?

Lantern is free as in money and as in freedom: free to use, modify, and redistribute in accordance with its license. This documentation is likewise distributed under a free license.

How can I contribute?
