Bypassing Big Brother Isn't Easy
NYTimes profiles the Global Internet Freedom Consortium...
(old news - 09:31AM Friday May 01 2009)
tags: business · world · content
As a growing number of countries consider filters to clean the Internet of its naughty bits, the New York Times reports that even in filter-happy Iran and China, users are finding a way around government Internet filters. That's thanks in large part to groups like the Global Internet Freedom Consortium, which has ties to the Falun Gong and has been at the lead of developing tools to help Chinese avoid censorship. The Times offers an interesting read on how their path hasn't been an easy one for the project's developers. Reporters Without Borders notes that 20 countries now use some type of content filter systems.

HAHAHHA ToR

transparent proxy is NOT effective against law enforcement spying on you.....

google what an elite proxy service does, wait don't google it they watch you through the searches too.

oh well you'll have to figure it out how to learn.
This is the future where knowledge is kept from you...
Did you like me not telling you?
Bet not.

Elite proxy servers do not log the activities of the person using the proxy.

says who?

And proxies are pretty useless when ISP's let the government capture your data on the 1st hop.

well tor would encrypt it from your computer so the ISP might know what node its going to but not the final dest

then as the Node would have more than your traffic so they would have no idea what you are doing

Not that that is really effective when your spitting at the 1st hop and storing data. Coupled with this nice little tidbit, it's really meaningless: »blog.torproject.org/blog/one-cell-enough.
