Iran-Specific Version of Anonymizer Unblocks Net Access

thelaw writes "Securityfocus has an article explaining a new anti-censorship proxy set up for Iran through Anonymizer, similar to one for Chinese citizens (did anyone know we had a proxy for Chinese citizens?). An interesting quote: '"In China we're continually monitoring the state of the proxy, and when we see the traffic drop off, we change the proxy's address, usually within 24 hours," says Berman. "In Iran, we're prepared to change the proxy address every day if necessary."'"

[You're All Wrong]

How can you say such things!

I'm sure Anonymizer's intentions are purely altruistic.

To support my crack-induced opinion, I just had to just look at anonymiser.com's website:

Top left corner - logo + "Privacy is your Right"
Top right corner - Login Username/Password
Body of page - Private Surfing 2.1 $29.95
Total Net Shield $99.95

So:
a) _Privacy_'s your right, but tell us who you are
and
b) Privacy's your _right_, but pay us money to help us give it to you.

YAW.

yeah and by having one look on their webpage i it doesn't surprise me they market by spam..

crap for the clueless paranoids.. 'make anonymiser your isp!'

yeah, make all you do on the net available on one spot. the not so clueless can use a web of open proxies anyways, or whatever they fancy..
