+    <p>
+    The purpose of this is to create a virtual machine based environment for
+    recreating censorship. The task of the student will be to document and
+    implement a system that allows you to recreated a censored network with the
+    purpose of testing the proper functioning of ooniprobe tests.

+    <p>
+    Some ideas of things that would be useful to have be emulated by the test
+    lab:
+    </p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>A transparent HTTP proxy (based on squid)</li>
+      <li>NAT traversal</li>
+      <li>HTTP proxy blocking certain sites</li>
+      <li>DNS based censorship</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>
+    The process of setting up the virtual machines and simulating censorship
+    should be fully automated (<a
+    href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7233">related
+    ticket</a>).
