VPN Virtual Private Network USE STRONG VPN A VPN, or virtual private network, creates your own private, encrypted channel that runs alongside the normal Internet. From within any country, a VPN connects you with an Internet server somewhere else. You pass your browsing and downloading requests to that American or Finnish or Japanese server, and it finds and sends back what you're looking for. Nothing can stop you, because it can't read the encrypted messages you're sending. Every foreign business operating in any country uses such a network. VPNs are freely advertised in China, so individuals can sign up, too. Every bank, every foreign manufacturing company, every retailer, every software vendor needs a VPN to exist. This also will Encrypt your e-mail. This will stop any country from spying on you. They will not be able to see your key stokes, what you type, or where you surf, what you send in email.

Grass Mud Horse Song. Sing along and Go over, go under, go around. The New York Times reported Thursday that the alpacalike creature's Mandarin name just happens to be a very, very dirty pun. Times style rules prevent the paper from clarifying the joke, but other, less-dignified outlets explain that the phrase Cao ni ma is a homonym for "fuck your mother" in Chinese.

"The Internet views censorship as a network failure, and routes around it." - John Gilmore

Governments who determine that they must control what people can see, in order to attempt to control what they think, censor what people can find on the internet.

Thomas Jefferson: Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.

Free cellphone encryption is coming to Android users in Egypt courtesy of San Francisco software maker Whisper Systems. Until now, Redphone and TextSecure, voice- and text-encryption apps respectively, have generally been available in the US only. Whisper Systems has been working on making the packages available internationally.

Who Controls Access to Knowledge

 

The issue is who controls access to knowledge, the informational content on the Internet. Is it the person seeking information or the governmental authorities seeking to limit access? Defeat all Internet censorship programs, from Net Nanny to CyberSitter to the firewalll used by government of China.

When people can only find content chosen for them by those in government and instead have to useful web content censored, they suffer and, inevitably, some die as a result.

In the case of tyrants, the goal is always to dupe people into becoming willing slaves.  Naturally, when people are most free to choose what information they see, they are best able to determine for themselves what to accept, what to doubt, what to act upon, what to disbelieve, and what to ignore.

Glyn Moody points us to a blog post that has a video/audio clip of a John F. Kennedy speech to the press about secrecy and censorship, which is getting some attention for the contrast to the way our government is responding to the Wikileaks controversy.

China's Great Firewall Tests Mysterious Scans On Encrypted Connections
In the cat-and-mouse game between Chinese censors and Internet users, the government seems to be testing a new mousetrap–one that may be designed to detect and block tunnels through its Great Firewall even when the data in those tunnels is aimed at a little-known computer and obscured by encryption.
In recent months, administrators of services with encrypted connections designed to allow users secure remote access say they've seen strange activity coming from China: When a user from within the country attempts to reach a server abroad, a string of seemingly random data hits the destination computer before he or she can connect, sometimes followed by that user's communication being mysteriously dropped.
The anti-censorship and anonymity service Tor, for instance, has found that many of its “bridge nodes”–privately-placed servers around the world designed to connect users to the rest of Tor's public network of traffic re-routing computers–have become inaccessible to Chinese users within hours or even minutes of being set up, according to Andrew Lewman, the project's executive director. Users have told him that other censorship circumvention services like Ultrasurf and Freegate have seen similar problems, he says. “Someone will try to connect, then there's a weird scan, and the bridge stops working,” says Lewman. “We see weird things all the time, but this is a semi-consistent weird thing, and it's only coming from China.”
Lewman believes that China's internet service providers may be testing a new system that, rather than merely block IP addresses or certain Web pages, attempts to identify censorship circumvention tools by preceding a user's connection to an encrypted service with a probe designed to reveal something about what sort of service the user is accessing. “It's like if I tell my wife I'm going bowling with my friends, and she calls the bowling alley ahead of time to see if that's what I'm really doing,” says Lewman. “It's verifying that you're asking for what you seem to be asking for.”
But so far, Lewman says Tor's developers haven't determined how that probe is able to see what's an encrypted connection to a Tor server and what's merely a connection to an encrypted banking or ecommerce site, which in theory should both look to a snooping government like indecipherably scrambled web traffic. The Chinese government after all, wouldn't be likely to block all encrypted connections, such as corporate VPNs, Lewman points out. “If Foxconn were disconnected from Apple, that would be big problem,” he says.
In the mean time, only a small fraction of Tor's Chinese users are experiencing the issue, implying that it may be just a subset of Chinese broadband providers experimenting with the new tool, says Lewman.
China's sniffing around encrypted traffic isn't limited to the United States. Leif Nixon, an IT security administrator at the National Supercomputer Centre of Sweden at Linkoping University, says he independently spotted the phenomenon hitting his servers a full year ago, when Chinese students or researchers tried to log on to the Centre's systems through SSH connections, and wrote a blog post about his findings earlier this month. “I don't know what the probes are supposed to accomplish,” he wrote at the time. “My only guess is that the government is looking for certain services it doesn't approve of, like open proxies or Tor relays, and that precise fingerprinting may be too expensive. Instead, they resort to an inspection method similar to fuzzing, where pseudo-random data is thrown at the server, just to see what happens.”
