Orbits of a deluded mind

Yah know I thought about this and after making this reply to a friend I thought that perhaps I should post the info here too.

Recently the US Dept of Defenfense announced they were blocking YouTube and MySpace (among others) from military personnel. Their reasoning is that these site could contribute to security breaches and endanger personnel. Although the possibility exists, the main reasoning is that it restricts access to information in and out bound to Iraq and Afganistan.

Personally I think this is a crock of poo, so allow me to offer a few helpful hints on how to get around this problem.

There are ways around it even for the military. Yah see, I'm a sneaky individual and I think it's only appropriate to use the Federal Government's information against them in such situations as these. How you might ask?..

The Voice of America and Radio Free Asia (both arms of the US Government) put out simple and easy to use descriptions of how to get around IP and address blocking. Here's the link to RFA:

Web Access - Getting Around Internet Blockage
As the governments of more countries use technology to block their citizens' access to certain Web sites on the Internet, you might encounter difficulty visiting the RFA sites.
However, there are many ways to bypass the Internet blockage.
One of the most popular ways is to use proxy servers. You can get updated proxy information sent to you automatically by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. Note: Send an email regularly to get currently working proxies.
If you don’t know how to use a proxy server, please, read the instructions below on how to set up your own computer to use proxy or use a proxy on another Web site.
Increasingly in China, people can access censored Web sites via special portal pages called “Client side software.” These are services provided by companies that specialize in offering free access to information. We recommend Freegate, from Dynaweb, and several others (see below.)
You can also get the news via e-mail. Several of our news services distribute their stories via e-mail newsletter and we've provided links to make it easy for you to sign up.

• Use a Web site's CGI proxy (http://www.rfa.org/english/support/webaccess_cgiproxy)

• Use a peer-to-peer network (http://www.rfa.org/english/support/anticensorship_networks)
