I'd like some feedback about the idea and implementation. If you've got any ideas to make it better, I'd love to hear them. The code is also on Github: https:/

If this is meant primarily against Turkish censorship (assumption motivated by the Turkish translation on the site) you should know that Turkey bans more than 40 thousand websites. Twitter and YouTube have just been two recent high profile bans. Here's a full list: http://engelliweb.com/ http://engelliweb.com/ The site is not a government resource. It's being run by volunteers who track the bans. I'm sure they'd be happy to send you the data in the format of your choice if you contact them. http://engelliweb.com/iletisim/ http://engelliweb.com/iletisim/

Impressive idea! So you say that you ever aspire to have enough bandwidth to tunnel youtube for a whole country? That's quite a pledge. Or you trust that only a small enough part of the population will ever use the service? It sounds great. Keep up the good work.

  Tunneling the Youtube webpage and flash player is tiny, tunneling the video itself isn't. The video is loaded from googlevideo.com and the Turkish government forgot to block that one... But yeah, if it becomes popular enough I'm ready to look into ways to pay for more servers and a whole lot more bandwidth.
