This is a WikiProject, a collaboration area and open group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of a particular topic, or to organizing some internal Wikipedia process.
Please see the Guide to WikiProjects and the Directory of WikiProjects for more information.

Welcome to the WikiProject on closed proxies. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group in order to enable editors in filtered countries to edit. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the effort. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below. If you would like to make use of a closed proxy, please visit /Usage instructions.
