most chinese know nothing about the GFW!
even now! most chinese know nothing about the true story of why google is going to leave!
nobody could help chinese to build a better gov, and they just fool all of themselves.
i wanna find a chance to get away from Beijing but...how?
"Why doesn't America create an anti-GFW project. You block people in China accessing websites outside of China, so I give you your own medicine, block China from accessing some key websites, such as technology IEEE, education, medicine, and other famous websites, then China would genuinely become a local area network. Then webizens within China would genuinely go mad"
The programmers who work for GFW ( China Greet Firewall using to Prohibit Chinese people access to sensitive political information) will give birth to children without anus
I don't think there is anything I could do to make a difference. I guess I can give a few people a free US VPN. Email me if you want access.
Google could bring down the GFW by massively disseminating free VPN access to Chinese people. However, doing so could get Larry and/or Sergey assassinated.
The IPs would get blocked. If you had many IPs, chances are they would be from a small group of ranges and the entire ranges would get blocked.
For years the way I worked around the firewall from Shanghai was to run SOCKS proxy through an SSH tunnel to my U.S. server. This works because its not advertised as such and China does not want to block all SSH/SSL traffic.
China is not trying to block everyone. If you're well educated, tech-savvy, and have a credit card to rent a server outside China, you can get around the firewall. Its that simple. If you read Chinese, as most do in China, there are many avenues of (sometimes transient) data sources which carry just about everything you could imagine. The information is out there, you just have to work a little harder to find it. China, just like various interests that control U.S. media is going after the broad strokes. In China they use the GFW, in the U.S., advertisers simply tell the top 4 media companies to not talk about certain things or else their ad money will dry up. The results as to what the general populous know are similar in my opinion.
VPN is just temporary solution, I suspect there will soon be a whitelist crack down. I hope there's some sort of darknet that actively inject data into China's Internet using source address rewrite. However most of ISP in US or Europe ban srcaddr rewrite which makes this difficult.
I think if China actually goes for a whitelist crackdown, it is going to set off an unprecedented international effort to crack the Great Firewall. It would be an enormous mistake for the CCP; it cannot possibly end well.
To those that emailed me about the VPN, I should have it up within 24 hours.
