The simplest way to browse the internet, download and open web pages and files anonymously. Only takes up 22KB of storage, and works in spite of most, if not all, of Apple's Screen Time restrictions for web browsing.

This tool allows you to download and open content anonymously. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that the content you are downloading is safe. We do not control the files you access through this tool, and we are not responsible for any harm caused by malicious files.

The OSI model has seven layers, of which include:

• 1. Physical Layer Transmits raw bit stream over the physical medium.
• 2. Data Link Layer Defines the format of data on the network.
• 3. Network Layer Decides which physical path the data will take. This layer handles routing and addressing, not system restrictions—so the tool doesn’t “ignore” restrictions here; the restrictions are actually enforced by the operating system and browser at a higher layer.
• 4. Transport Layer Transmits data using transmission protocols including TCP and UDP.
• 5. Session Layer Maintains connections and is responsible for controlling ports and sessions.
• 6. Presentation Layer Ensures that data is in a usable format and is where data encryption occurs.
• 7. Application Layer Human-computer interaction layer, where applications can access the network services.

TL;DR: The tool starts from Application Layer (7) and operates in a security context outside the browser sandbox, allowing it to retrieve files without being limited by the restrictions that normally apply to the browser.

• Go to "unix/VantaGate" and open the file.
• It should open a terminal window, there you will enter the URL.
• It will then prompt you to enter the name of the file you choose, WITHOUT entering the file extension as that is already prefixed to .html, unless you are not downloading a .html file in which case you can rename in your native file browser or CLI interface. ! THIS METHOD ONLY WORKS FOR MACOS CLI. BATCH VERSION FOR WINDOWS COMING OUT SOON !

• Open index.html.
• Paste/type link into Fetch and click the 'Fetch' button.
• Right click the link and select 'Save Link' or 'Download Linked File'.
• Copy the file directory, if it is a webpage (ends in '.html').
• Paste file directory into Open, and click the 'Open' button.

• Bing (URL: "https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=123&q=your+query+here")
• Ecosia (URL: "https://ecosia.org/search?q=your+query+here")
• Yandex (more instructions below)
• Brave (URL: "https://search.brave.com/search?q=your+query+here")

I am sure there is more, but these are the only ones that I know of so far that work with this project.

"https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=123&q=your+query+here"

The '123' in the URL above means any number you choose would work when fetching.

To use Yandex:

• Fetch the url (https://yandex.com)
• Open the '.html' file using your native browser or VantaGate
• Type in your search term and hit enter
• If your browser says 'Site Blocked', 'Access Restricted', etc, copy the link from the search bar and fetch that one as well
• Open the other '.html' file using either your native browser or VantaGate

VantaGate is an original project designed and developed for private local browsing, educational sandboxing, and more features we are planning on adding.

This project originated from a small codebase created by a GitHub user named Glisterk, whose repository implemented a "blank tab cloak" using a simple iframe-based method. While VantaGate now serves a completely different purpose, this early concept inspired the tab-handling component of the initial prototype.

VantaGate has since been entirely rewritten and expanded with new features, functionality, and goals beyond the scope of the original idea.
