Defeating China's National Firewall

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the obligitory-harry-potter-reference dept.

Bruce Schneier is reporting on his blog that a recent paper is discussing how to defeat China's national firewall. From the article: "However, because the original packets are passed through the firewall unscathed, if both of the endpoints were to completely ignore the firewall's reset packets, then the connection will proceed unhindered! We've done some real experiments on this -- and it works just fine!! Think of it as the Harry Potter approach to the Great Firewall -- just shut your eyes and walk onto Platform 9¾."

    Where does the arrogance come from that entitles us in the western world to defeat any setup (legal or physical) in foreign countries based on *our* values?

    We would be offended if China would try to defeat US or EU labor laws, immigration policy, or othther domestic or international policies.
