If you are looking for a comprehensive, and I mean really really comprehensive, guide on bypassing internet censorship you might want to take a look at the excellent guide written by Freerk. The guide is divided into two parts; The first analyzes different methods to censor information on the internet and the second part describes different ways to bypass censorship.
It describes methods to censor websites like blocking url’s via the DNS server that for instance the German government likes to use which can be easily countered by using the IP or an DNS server that does not block the website. So, for every action (censorship) you find the corresponding reaction (bypass). Excellent read for everyone whose country, company or institution has decided to block certain information.
Kinds of censorship described:
- Blocked URL’s via the DNS-server
- Forced proxy server / transparent proxy
- Keyword filter
- Blocked ports
- Software on the client (child protection e.t.c)
- Censorware on the server (inside of networks)
- Whitelist
- IP blocking on the routers
Ways to bypass Censorship:
- Using a different ISP
- Using a not censoring DNS-server
- Using a non censoring proxy server
- Using a Web-2-phone service
- Using a webproxy
- Get Webpages via eMail
- Using steganography
- Using a special proxy like peer-2-peer program
- Special Services
Everything is explained in detail and links are provided where necessary. I have decided to pick out some of the more common methods to censor and bypass information in the coming days – stay tuned.
