Honestly, The product sounds real good in theory, but is about bandwidth and
accessibility to my computer so others could throttle on it, and for me it
needs more {CLARITY} when it comes to privacy, security and integrity.
At least in thor is more clear and specific, If you follow the

For those asking about the difference between Tor and Lantern, Lantern
is a censorship circumvention mechanism but not an anonymity network.
Lantern can also
can't you just use TOR?

Hello and thank you for telling us about the project.
But, sadly, there is a problem with it: it requires you to use a google
accont which I find counter-productive.
If there is an alternative to using google, pleas tell.
Thank you
It doesn't seem to have any advantage over Tor, unless it's faster, maybe.
Isn't access with anonymity better than just access?
A number of red flags popped out to me, aside from the dependency on Google
services (which they claim they will remove soon[1])
Readme[2] claims that it requires Oracle JDK specifically, and OpenJDK will
not work. As is typical, they don't explain why this is the case. Now, I know
Java
I agree with you
I don't consider saying Linux when they mean GNU/Linux to be a red flag
in particular; such projects include GNOME, LibreOffice, Python, and Tor. I
don't consider any of these projects to be hostile to free/libre software.
Readme also states that the installer is built with proprietary tools.
Normally, we don't even know whether the binaries on our system are really
made of the correct sources or not.
Thousands of free software project may also use proprietary tools for
compiling but don't state it explicitly
I believe it works in OpenJDK:

The red flag is more that they target only Ubuntu, instead of GNU/Linux in
general. That may or may not be a problem in practice, however.
Ah, I get what you mean. But it doesn't really seem like that's what they're
saying; they have a link that says Linux and links to a deb file. It looks
more like they don't understand that not all GNU/Linux distros are
Debian-based.
