This is how people are posting the videos on youtube, bbc, etc. This is also how people are getting their daily news. By getting more people to host this software, we are pushing the censorship networks to work harder and play catchup. However, there are risks involved if you decide to download the software and provide a proxy. Please read carefully, and don't offer any active business IP address for this. What may happen is that your IP address can and mostly likely will eventually be blocked by IRAN. Additionally if you don't monitor the traffic you can get unscrupulous people to waste your bandwidth. So protect yourself if you provide this service. But in the meantime you can help those who need it now. I followed the directions below and noticed several people accessing the bbc site. I know that *there are better softwares* out there, the Fallen gong are providing one, the university of toronto has one, etc. For me this was available and did the job immediately. If you have the time to do the research please add more links and pass this email along. http://vnboards.ign.com/ac_friends/b5258/111141501/r111143361/ Amin * We can do no great things; only small things with great love.
