Iran-Specific Version of Anonymizer Unblocks Net Access

Posted by timothy on from the free-access-sounds-like-a-good-idea dept.

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."'"

    What if someone in Iran/China reads/downloads something that violates the DMCA? Or any other similar law. Does that make Anonymizer an accessory to the crime?

    The real irony starts when the Internet un-blocker starts blocking parts of the Internet...

  2. China proxy addresses? by ThesQuid · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Anybody know where I can get a list of those China proxy addresses? They aren't on Anonymizer's website, and I'd sure like to use one.
