Are you going to download Psiphon?

[ck4829]

Psiphon is the new tool which can bypass government filters.

The Internet is pretty much free for people in the US, but by people downloading it in the US and other countries in which access to internet is free, it can also allow people in countries where the Internet is restricted, in places such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and North Korea, also be able to surf the Internet freely.

4. The Psiphon site is already blocked at my work

they didn't waste any time.

On an unrelated note is anybody here running a meebo proxy server I can use?

5. I would, but I personally don't know anyone in censored countries...

and according to the FAQs that's the way Psiphon works, the person running Psiphon send a unique URL to people in cersored countries, that they use to log in to a Psiphon server(proxy) to surf restricted sites.

6. I might, but I need to learn more

I'll have to check it out this weekend. I read the FAQ's and it seems like an interesting project.

7. I Don't Download A Damned Thing That I Don't Absolutly Need

Computers get so contaminated after a couple of years all you can do is junk them anyway, so why would I add to my problems by downloading unknown shit off the internet?

8. I don't know anyone in a restricted country, so I have no reason to.

9. So I guess if I DON'T know anyone in a censored country...

I'm screwn?

No point in downloading that and trying to help someone when I know nobody who can use it. :(

10. My emails to/from my friends in Cuba go thru just fine now, as they always have.

11. Perhaps

someone will eventually set up a site where we'd be able to adopt someone?
