- tyeddingston, on 05/04/2009, -0/+27***** censorship!
- Maddoktor2, on 05/04/2009, -0/+26One way or another, Freedom always triumphs.
- naz2292, on 05/04/2009, -0/+22Freedom will find a way
- DreamSpirit3, on 05/04/2009, -0/+16Their are approximately 25,000,000 Million Iranian Internet Users.
Their are about 400,000 that by-pass censored information according to the article.
Those are really amazing Numbers! If enough people use these sorts of tactics, then the Iranian government will be overwhelmed and have no choice but to loosen up the Internet Restrictions. Power of the people! - clickmyface, on 05/04/2009, -2/+14The light of his laptop masked by his bedsheets. Late a night, on the streets of Terhan, a young boy can be heard shouting "so... much...porn!!!" A new dawn is born. His twitter reads only this: The real internet has arrived.
Hand lotion sales are through the roof. - norman619, on 05/04/2009, -3/+11It sounds like it is YOU who hasn't read much history. History teaches that you can opress a group of people only for so long. Eventually they rise up.
- inactive, on 05/04/2009, -1/+8Amusingly, Digg censors "*****" unless you log in.
- protogenxl, on 05/04/2009, -1/+7I would like to be the first to welcome the New York Times to the year 2003
- SemiSarcastic, on 05/04/2009, -0/+6It's about living the American dream of watchin' skateboardin' dogs and updating people on what you ate for dinner. In America!
- ScottoGato, on 05/04/2009, -0/+625,000,000 Million = 25 Trillion
- DrJen, on 05/04/2009, -0/+5I thought of that, too. Yet honestly, their government already knew - don't you think?
- Ymeg, on 05/04/2009, -1/+6But they will take away your right to life because of it.
- hbskinner, on 05/04/2009, -0/+4You are aware the internet was originally devised by the defense department?
- elo91, on 05/04/2009, -0/+4I know this probably comes as a shock to you, but Al Gore did NOT invent the internet. I hope I didn't just destroy your conception of the world.
- inactive, on 05/04/2009, -0/+4*There are
- CoD4, on 05/04/2009, -7/+11You don't read much history, do you?
- antdude, on 05/04/2009, -0/+4"than"
- seltaeb4, on 05/04/2009, -4/+7It's a good thing all of those damn anti-American hippies invented computers.
The right wing likes to wave flags and scream about freedom... the left wing actually does something to bring freedom about. - inactive, on 05/04/2009, -1/+4I wonder if there is any subway tunnels under the Iranian government.
- inactive, on 05/04/2009, -0/+3Pretty much since the day government started filtering in Iran, users started circumventing them.
I don't know why it took NY Times this long to figure it out. - Atario, on 05/04/2009, -0/+3I would have preferred that you said "powerful" rather than "dangerous", but yeah.
- Shwaavay, on 05/04/2009, -0/+3How exactly are you claiming that hippies invented the internet?
- Archer007, on 05/04/2009, -2/+4What the ***** is wtf?
- seltaeb4, on 05/04/2009, -1/+3That was another myth spread by AM radio.
http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp - inactive, on 05/04/2009, -1/+3I apologize in advance for the comments made on Youtube by the rest of the world.
- mabsark, on 05/05/2009, -0/+2I was thinking the same thing. And then near the end of the article,
"The consortium’s circumvention system works this way: Government censorship systems like the Great Firewall can block access to certain Internet Protocol addresses. The equivalent of phone numbers, these addresses are quartets of numbers like 209.85.171.100 that identify a Web site, in this case, google.com. By clicking on a link provided in the consortium’s e-mail message, someone in China or Iran trying to reach a forbidden Web site can download software that connects to a computer abroad that then redirects the request to the site’s forbidden address."
For ***** sake, a 2 page article to describe a ***** proxy server? - Lefts, on 05/04/2009, -3/+5Stop downvoting this guy. If you read history you do realize that freedom is always the underdog.

I hated to say it, but gtunnel.exe is reported as a trojan. So are a few others. Here's an example on the 1st one I scanned. Sucks that digg.com is being used to spread trojans. But it was about to happen.

Who KNEW? - mabsark, on 05/05/2009, -0/+1***** skateboarding dogs. Minimoto riding monkeys FTW.
- quaxon, on 05/05/2009, -0/+1im gonna be in iran this july, anyone know what the program is?
- TheBanditKing, on 05/04/2009, -2/+3I had a good few weeks in Iran last July, i found the censorship varied from internet cafe to internet cafe, some had hardly a thing, certainly nothing social (flickr, facebook, etc) just a page full of mysterious farsi script. One particular cafe i remember was called the "happy internet" and the walls were adorned with peeling murals of disney characters (Yes, Iranians like disney apparently). It was very censored.
Another cafe i visited seemed to be wide open though, it's certainly odd, though i wasn't exactly searching for pron. I remember across turkey on a bus i met an Iranian student who was returning home, we had something of a chat, couldnt say much, but i noticed he was cutting out pictures from a newspaper and stuffing them in his pockets to bring home, upon closer inspection they were all pictures of women. Just ordinary newsworthy women. In the newspaper...
Poor Iranians... - makkaveli19, on 05/05/2009, -1/+2Iranian government is already ***** scared of the westernized youth population.
- chrissinchok, on 05/04/2009, -0/+1Do they have a program to outwit the New York Times registration blockade?
- DrHoliday, on 05/04/2009, -0/+1You know, they've been at this for quite some time now...
- shadowspawn, on 05/04/2009, -0/+1God, look at the tech support on this file. How many people downloaded this?
http://www.internetfreedom.org/forum/index.php?boa ...
It's a dead, non-moderated forum, it looks like. What a hook. So professional-looking too. - shadowspawn, on 05/04/2009, -0/+1What's the name of the software, and why was it removed from the article? I know it's not Tor or FreeNet.
On the site it lists 5 different packages. http://www.internetfreedom.org/Products-and-Servic ...
Is it this one? http://www.internetfreedom.org/FreeGate
(And hm. A botnet exploiting this using HTTP gzip get requests with rotating XoR keys for updates. Hm.) - inactive, on 05/05/2009, -0/+1WONDERFUL! Now they can get an idea of some truth-- SOME truths.
- taibo, on 05/05/2009, -0/+0It's not that hard. People have been bypassing the Great Firewall of China for sometime now, even the authorities acknowledge it but don't seem to care terribly much.
- inactive, on 05/05/2009, -1/+1 @PlusTheBear-- Scared?
- glonq, on 05/04/2009, -0/+0I read (and prefer) the topic as "Iranians and other nitwit censors".
- mabsark, on 05/05/2009, -1/+1Or 25 Billion, strangely enough, 25 Trillion = 25 Billion. Work that one out (It's not hard like, but some people wont get it)
- inactive, on 05/04/2009, -3/+2Censor *****!
- davewelsh79, on 05/04/2009, -3/+2wtf is "a software"?
- PlusTheBear, on 05/04/2009, -3/+2Our diggs may be sort of bringing this thing to light for the Iranians. We might be the bad guys here...
- inactive, on 05/05/2009, -2/+1If there are I hope Israel bombs them too.
- mst3kcrow, on 05/04/2009, -4/+3The Chinese have been doing this for a long time, great to see the Persians catching on.
