Disposable VPN: Tor Gateways With EC2 Free Tiers

Posted by timothy on from the getting-the-message-across dept.

The established regime in Turkey (not to mention many other countries: take your pick) may not like any-to-many communications, but luckily established regimes don't always get the final word. An anonymous reader writes "Lahana is my little side project to help people access the Internet and Tor via Amazon EC2 free tier-based VPNs. It's a couple of scripts that set up a new VPN in a couple of minutes that automatically tunnels everything through Tor. It's easy to share credentials with groups of people and for most people is free to set up and use. I built it with Turkey in mind, but it no doubt has other uses."

    At the very least, Erdogan's Pave-A-Park Plan is incredibly tacky. It demonstrates everything wrong with an oblivious and uncompassionate government, in orange-juice-concentrate form. I mean, replace a nice park with a historical symbol of war (as if we should remind ourselves to be perpetually on such footing)...and then put a...shopping mall...inside...?

    wat.

    Actually, connectivity here is pretty damned great. The movement is a lot, lot bigger than the US-Occupy efforts - and is supported by many companies and businesses.

    Yesterday for the rallies / riots, TurkCell had installed several mobile cell-repeaters. Even during the most intense of confrontations with the cops, I had perfect cell, data and voice reception.

    Strange, this "article" does not even mention the official Tor Project Cloud effort: https://cloud.torproject.org/

    They want a phone number to verify against now. You can use a prepaid card AFAIK still, but that won't help you stay anonymous...

    Occupy Wall Street was the voice of the 99% rising up against the 1%. The elite used police thugs to bring an end to the uppity commoners. It's sad you've fallen for the false narrative provided by Fox News.
