OONI calls for users to run OONI Probe on Linux and macOS to measure website, app, and circumvention tool blocking for its open censorship dataset.

OONI promotes OONI Probe, an open-source censorship measurement tool with a command-line version for Linux and macOS. The tool tests which websites are blocked, network speed using the NDT test developed with M-Lab, and app blocking for WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram. It also checks whether circumvention tools work on a user's network, with all results feeding what OONI describes as the world's largest open dataset on internet censorship.

  • Measures blocked websites and network performance via M-Lab's NDT test
  • Checks app blocking for WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram
  • Tests whether circumvention tools work and contributes to an open dataset
