[MLUG - DISCUSSION] web proxies for Chinese and other oppressed groups

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

We've been hearing about the Chinese government blocking their people from 
accessing many web sites.  So Google caved and made a special Google.cn 
with restricted capabilities to satisfy the Chinese government.  This 
leads me to wonder if it would not be possible for Chinese people to have 
secure connections to specially-designed web sites that allow them to 
connect from there to any other web site.  To make this work, there would 
have to be a lot of these sites and they would have to move around the 
web.  Is it possible to make such a thing work?  If it worked well enough, 
it wouldn't have to work for long because it would probably put an end to 
the Chinese filtering scheme fairly quickly.  Why would they waste time 
fighting a losing battle?

Mike
