Ultrasurf was developed to evade the Great Firewall of China. I would not be surprised if Turkey is getting consultation from China. There is a wired article at http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/11/ff_firewallfighters/

A good starting point for UltraSurf and some of the other options is a consortium of several organizations including the folks behind gTunnel which is at:
http://www.internetfreedom.org/

Their web site has not been updated very recently, but I don't know how the individual organizations are doing.

I'm waiting for the follow-up article, 'Five Technologies Iranian Citizens are Using to Bypass the Censors.'

There appears to me to be a whole lot of "Validity by Association" going on here.

I looked up Global Information Freedom, Inc. - and I'm having trouble finding this close association so noted in TFSummary. Clearly, GIFInc, is very concerned about the Great Firewall - but here's the only Falun Gong reference that I could find - http://www.internetfreedom.org/The-High-Tech-Persecution-of-Falun-Gong-in-China (which seems to cover a helluva lot more than the Falun Gong).

The Falun Gong has become the darling political football around here - note House Resolution 794, June 12, 2006, called for the PRC to square away human rights abuses and cited the Falun Gong. Note also, FWIW, my first awareness of the Falun Gong was from the Wall Street Journal - at a time when I was spending most all of my time in Asia. Interestingly, or may I say not-surprisingly, the WSJ's quotes are reference material for Congress - note the following study: http://www.usembassy.it/pdf/other/RL33437.pdf

So - Iranians are behind a firewall and there's software to help.

I'm not pleased with the summary - unless there's some actual evidence linking Global Information Freedom, Inc with the Falun Gong - real linking, i.e., GIFInc is funded by Falun Gong or is the Falun Gong's internet mouthpiece, then I call not only shenanigans but also shame:

Don't Iranians have enough fucking trouble without being linked to the Falun Gong? Was there a need for this sensationalism and association?

Is the issue that Iranians suffer censorship? Or that the censorship can be broken - the Great Firewall experience applies here?

Or, is the issue that we need to mention an entirely different and completely controversial belief system to sell mindshares?

I apologize in advance if I'm wrong about the Global Information Freedom, Inc crowd - but that apology is provisional upon proof of the linking claim, which I have yet to find.

I visited this GIFC site. Noted that there is no way to contact anyone there! (freedom ??) .. and its statements seem to be written by some right-wingers who believe in some 'sanctity' of 'freedom of information' in these United States of America

According to its Deputy Director, Shiyu Zhou, GIFC is "a small team of dedicated volunteers, connected through their common practice of Falun Gong, who have come together to work for the cause of Internet freedom." GIFC recently asked the US Senate for $50 million in funding to continue its work.

Please note that I'm not posting this information to discredit GIFC - I agree with what they're doing (see my homepage), but I think we should pay attention to why they're doing it and who's paying the bills.
