What's to stop ISPs blocking the Immunicity proxy as well? The ORG stated that ☑ web blocking circumvention tools will be one of the checkboxes.

Yeah or they end up as a honey pot for the govt providing a neatly compiled list of addresses.

This was exactly my first thought too. I was hoping for something clever in the "How it works" section of their website, but it's just a simple proxy which resides on their servers. If gateway.immunicity.net gets blocked then it's game over isn't it?

In that case it's probably best to buy your own cheap VPS and setup openvpn on it, I can't see them taking down VPS providers.

Slowly but steady they are closing all our public and completely legal private venues of communication, all with the help of companies such as VISA and Mastercard.

    You're mixing-up VPN (Virtual Private Network) and VPS (Virtual Private Server). A VPS can be used as a personal VPN, among other things. As parent suggested, it would be hard to imagine a ban on VPSs.

    Then you use mullvad.net and pay with cash by snail mail.

On the plus side, their proxy resolves to about 15 highly diverse IPs, including IPv6 (cough IPv6 tunnel).

  Deep Packet Inspection... aaannd the game is over. Sorry, but the only the way to defend is to do something against it, protest, demonstrate, campaigns. And to attack the arguments of the politicians with a very strong backup or to leave the country. Vote for: http://www.pirateparty.org.uk/ http://www.pirateparty.org.uk/ If you know 'anything' that really circumvents DPI, please let me know, I will buy it, now! :) (Hopefully I can shoot my own Satellite into space someday..)

    Ssh vpn proxy in the USA, fairly simple and even dpi can't do shit about that.

      I have read the oppsite, can you show me how vpn+proxy over ssh can prevent getting blocked from DPI? I thought they block everything not on their whitelist.
      - tomjen3 13y ago
        Well that would mean they would have to block most non-mainstream sites or alternatively block a ton of things. Of course with a whitelist it is more difficult but it is almost certainly not they way they will do it.

      Given what we already know about the extent of DPI monitoring on the US internet, and the US govs data sharing programs, why do you think this a more practical choice than actual democratic representation in the long term?
