Is circumventing the restrictions in the UAE something that can get you arrested by the internet police? I know that in China it can, in theory, if you're Chinese, but mostly they are looking for people spreading subversion rather than reading about subversion. I've heard in the Middle East it is more economic restriction than cultural restriction -- VoIP services are blocked so you have to use the phone company's long distance services. What's to stop you from running Tor all the time, or proxying through your VPS or someone else's VPS? (though I guess it would be annoying to have your connection always slowed down by tunneling it around the world) I used to have a webproxy running on my VPS, let me know if you want me to start it up again. And the google keyword "start using cgiproxy" is good if you're in a pinch.
