Xaxu (codename for the Gabriel Source project) is a dynamic content filter bypass system (in the form of a proxy server) which is itself designed to be difficult to filter out.

How does it work?
Most, if not all, proxy servers online today use perl, java, or occasionally (and insanely rarely) flash to retrieve the information from another website. These have a static IP address or domain name so that users can locate the website, which is the reason they do not work for dynamic content filters, which learn and adapt to the needs and/or desires of those who set up the system on a minimalistic basis.

Other forms use a static IP addresses which are manually input into the proxy settings of a web browser. Again, any static IP address or domain name can be logged and blocked.

Xaxu is different in that it uses a dynamic IP address, releasing and renewing every hour on the hour. How do you find the IP address? An image is taken by the computer via screen capture every ten minutes. On the screen, the remote IP address of the computer is displayed via Linksys' WRT54G IP settings page. Also on this page is the DHCP Release and Renew buttons. Every hour on the hour (host computer time), the DHCP-assigned IP address provided to the router is released, and a new address gained.

Why does it work?
Few, if any, of the content filters used in the United States are designed to work against a dynamic host such as this. On some occasions, other, static, websites have been used unblocked for as much as a month or more. A system which takes a month or more to detect and block a static domain name has no chance of blocking an IP address released and changed every hour.

What's the address, already?!
The IP address is, as of January 17th, 2008, 13:06 PM US Pacific Time: UNAVAILABLE. PLEASE CHECK AGAIN LATER.
