What it does
Ceno uses the Ouinet network and peer-to-peer content sharing to improve access to blocked pages, with separate Public and Personal browsing modes.
Ceno's mode choice is central to using it. Public tabs can fetch and share cached website content through BitTorrent; the project warns that this leaves a public association between an IP address and requested or shared content. Personal tabs avoid that peer-to-peer sharing and are the documented choice for account logins.
Ceno is intended to improve content availability on restricted or unreliable networks. It is not an anonymity tool, and public sharing can consume extra metered data. The app also has metrics collection enabled by default, with an opt-out in settings. Review those choices before making a device a regular participant or enabling its optional bridge role.
