Same deal in the UK. I wonder how long until the US goes down the same route.
I'm quite surprised that they've gone down the DNS based filtering route. I'd expect that to change in a few years time.
I recommend investing in a VPN service. They're relatively cheap. And if you pick the right one, the bandwidth is generally pretty good.
- blowski 10y agoAnt specific recommendations? I use IP Vanish and I have no performance problems.
- waterhouse23 10y agoI don't have any specific recommendations (though I'm happy with my provider). What I would say, is go with a provider who accepts bitcoin and doesn't require an email address. Even if you end up paying my card/PayPal, at least you know they have a route to a more anonymous/private service.
- dwightgunning 10y agoAt some point all the interesting/useful countries to exit the VPN will be censored. Then it's game over.
- waterhouse23 10y agoYes, that's a sad prospect. However, at that point I assume there'll also be no countries to host content in either so VPN would be useless in any case. I assume at the point Tor's popularity will surge.
- toyg 10y agoNo - then it's a business opportunity for smaller countries, with "looser" copyright rules and enforcement, to build a world-class VPN industry. The Switzerland of VPNs is a historical inevitability: even the rich and powerful need it.
