It seems to be a way to circumvent censorship.

They probably want to tone down their marketing claims then, since it doesn't let you browse the web without internet access. It lets you browse webpages that would be blocked in your area
I thought this was going to be some kind of wifi or bluetooth mesh
Me too, or some kind of offline caching system that automatically downloads your commonly visited websites or something
I had the exact same thought and it wasn't until navigating to their FAQ did it become apparent what they were actually selling.

"Browse the web without internet access" is either purposely misleading or written by someone who doesn't understand the tech they're marketing.

in Iran there's a funny situation where you're connected but not to the internet. if that makes sense.
Are you still able to access Iranian servers, or is all traffic blocked? I'd class "The servers in Iran" as still a part of the internet
It does thanks. Hope all is well if you're over there.
I agree. "Cut off" and "without internet access" != censored. They should have worded it better. The title is the worst.
"Ceno, browse the censored web if BitTorrent isn't censored."
