Web accelerator
From Cship
A Web accelerator is a special kind of proxy server which compresses text (HTML, CSS, JavaScript...) with the gzip technology and often also images (JPEG, GIF, PNG...) with a tool like ImageMagick so that less data has to be transferred to the client. Some also filter out advertisement banners.
Web accelerators are a great way to bypass Internet censorship, since they are faster than most other proxy services and because their primary use is not the censorship circumvention, it is easier to deny the fact that you want to bypass the filters.
