Proxy Server Update

Email This Entry

Posted by Derek

I appreciate the mail I've had on this subject, and wanted to provide a brief update for those who are interested. If you've set up a proxy server for Iran, you can submit it here - Austin Heap is the guy running this part of the effort. There's also a test page where you can see if you have things configured correctly. Anyone needing more technical details, please drop me a note - I'll either answer it myself or send you on to someone who can. I am, truth be told, not exactly one of the 1337-est haxors around, but one does what one can.

I have to say, of all the terms that could possibly show up on this blog, I never thought I'd see you drop '1337' on us. Or 'haxor' for that matter.

Besides proxy servers, Tor is also a good choice.
You can combine Tor with Firefox. Tor will help you to loop through a series of different hosts by P2P means, using encrypted connections, and then get out onto the internet in the "free" world.

Also, softwares such as Freegate may be useful. It has been used for quite a long time to get around the Great Firewall by Chinese netizens. I believe it also works well in Iran, as its internet censorship tools are much less elaborate and strong than the Chinese one...
