NewNode VPN is an http[s] proxy that attempts to defeat web censorship or site blocking using an ad hoc peer-to-peer network. For http, it tries to download the page from multiple places, including the origin server but also NewNode peers and other locations where it might be cached. For https, it tries to find an unblocked path to the origin server using its peer-to-peer network. Installing NewNode Helper starts a NewNode VPN node on your computer, which will then participate in NewNode's peer-to-peer network, which will assist other users' attempts to access blocked web sites. You may also use Newnode Helper as a web proxy for your own web browsers or other http[s] clients.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install newnode-helper, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install newnode-helper
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
