So even though the Internet can be and is filtered at different levels, by
different people, its inherent architecture enables people to bypass these
blocks.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.iranian.ws/iran_news/publish/article_20454.shtml"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.iranian.ws/img/27066930-73B4-44A4-8842-A42F8D42BF1E" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.iranian.ws/iran_news/publish/article_20454.shtml"><DIV>
So how does one bypass the restrictions if it is fairly comprehensive and blocks
even Web sites like Anonymizer? The way out is to use anonymous proxy servers.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.iranian.ws/iran_news/publish/article_20454.shtml"><DIV>
A proxy server is, in most cases, a normal computer that hides the identity of
computers on its network from the Internet. Which means that only the address of
the proxy server is visible to the world and not of those computers that are
using it to browse the Internet.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.iranian.ws/iran_news/publish/article_20454.shtml">The first is to use special software like <A target="_blank" href="http://www.multiproxy.org">Multiproxy</A>

Redirector. These automatically check for new open proxy servers and help your
browser use them without much difficulty. The second is to use Web sites like <A target="_blank" href="http://www.openproxy.com">Openproxy</A>
