Become surveillance-free

The FreedomBox Foundation aims to develop a software platform to keep your digital activities away from prying eyes.

Designed to run in small, cheap 'plugin servers' no bigger than a standard power adapter, FreedomBox software wants to replace centralized, governmental connections in order to thwart censorship and surveillance attempts.

If a government pulls the kill switch, then your modifed plugin server could serve as a backup Internet connector.  

The Kickstarter campaign managed to reach $86,724 in funding, based on a $60,000 goal.
