fortunately, i find myself living in a country that appears to accept freedom of speech, freedom of data. while i´m quite aware that this ideology is not to be supported in future concepts to keep masses controlled i find every citizen should try to gain knowledge in bypassing common web censoring methods. how do you think about that? i find this very interesting and simultaneously hope that the information in the web remains free.

bypass ip locks

if you happen to sit behind an ip barrier that i.e. stops wikileaks you might bypass it in ways (free of charge) like these

• use translate.google.com and open the page that is censored, if google is not cooperating with the bad guys
• use compressor services like loband if you can live with the html only version
• use proxies –> ixquick allows you to use a search result in proxy manner
  • use ixquick search engine and search for the censored page
  • click “proxy” behind the url of interest, then ixquick will serve as proxy

simple thing to do and it does not cost anything. of course you could set up tor to communicate privately (hence making ip resolving useless).

another approach would be to ask a service like web2mail to compress the website you want to see and let them send it to your email box. then you see the requested page after unpacking the file you received. clicking a link would result in asking web2mail for the target and another email.

All these ways were told during a talk at this year´s sigint that you can watch at media.ccc.de
