The Best Way Through the Great Firewall of China

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the route-around-oppression dept.

eldavojohn writes "The MIT Technology Review brings news of a new report from Harvard assessing circumvention software. The best tools they tested (and they actually did test them in cybercafes in China) were Ultrareach, Psiphon, and Tor, while Dynaweb and Anonymizer also scored well — of course, the huge downside is the long loading times. The report also includes responses from developers of the tools."

    Given the kind of freaky porn that comes out of Germany, I doubt the German government is going to be phased by anything the Chinese decide to download.

    It is worth noting that the report was released in 07 and "Some of the data is now out of date"

    They mentioned the the "downside is the long loading times."
