Chinese Firewall Drill

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time - Abraham Lincoln.

A proxy server will set you free

Censorship in the age of information is untimely imposable, intelligent people everywhere will find the truth. All the commotion in the Press last week over Google.cn's complicity with the Chinese Government and the other stories about MSN and Yahoo not taking a stand all ignored humanities' innate ingenuity.

Overcoming censorship may prove easier then circumnavigation the misinformation and disinformation we are inundated with daily.

How to Outwit the World's Internet Censors, mentions Dynamic Internet Technology and UltraReach Internet commercial companies creating software or Web services that try to poke holes in China's great firewall. The Circumventor from PeaceFire will turn any Windows PC into a proxy allowing a networked community to circumvent Internet restrictions.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation will help you surf anomalously with the communications network Tor. It may have been created to aide file swappers, but can now help combat censorship the world over, so don't get mad at Google, Yahoo and MSN, join the EFF now. Please consider volunteering your time or volunteering your bandwidth.
