~/actual-route
The site is blocked.
The route is not.
actual-route is a proxy browser in beta: a react shell up front, scramjet and ultraviolet cores underneath. it fetches pages on a relay server and streams them back, so the filter in the middle never sees where you are really going.

the app, routing five sites on loop
## what-it-is
proxy-browser
pages load through a relay server, not straight from you. the network filter sees one harmless domain. the relay sees the real destination. nothing in between sees both.
two-cores
scramjet for speed, ultraviolet for compatibility. when a filter learns one core, traffic fails over to the other without you noticing.
react-shell
the interface is a react app: tabs, route bar, settings. react handles the chrome you touch, the cores handle the traffic you don't see.
zero-telemetry
no account, no analytics, no cookie jar from us. close the tab and the server forgets you were ever there.
self-hostable
the source is on github. run it on your own box, or ride the public relay that donations keep alive.
## the-route
01
type
you enter the real url in the bar. nothing is pre-cached, mirrored, or screenshotted.
02
encode
the request gets wrapped. to whatever sits between you and the relay, it looks like noise headed for one plain domain.
03
relay
a bare server unwraps it, fetches the actual site, and streams the response back through the tunnel.
04
render
the page lands in a tab inside the react shell and just runs. scripts, video, and logins included.
## status
the honest state of the build. no roadmap theater, no fake progress bars. this list moves as the beta moves, and the warn lines stay until they are fixed.
## questions
is it free?
yes. the public relay runs on donations, which is exactly what /donate pays for. self-hosting costs whatever your own box costs.
why does it sometimes stop working?
filters learn relay domains. front domains rotate to stay ahead, and when one dies the route moves. if the public relay is down, check back shortly or self-host.
is my traffic private?
the relay sees the pages you fetch while you use it, and it keeps no logs or disk records. for anything truly sensitive, use tor or a vpn you trust more than a stranger's proxy.
