[1]FrenchyinOntario writes "Researchers at a University of Toronto lab
are getting ready to release a computer program called Psiphon, which
will [2]allow Internet users in free countries to help users in more
restrictive countries (like China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc.) to
access the Internet by getting past the firewalls and hosing "rubber
hose cryptoanalysis" which is a drawback of other anti-firewall
programs as it reveals a user's tracks if discovered by authorities.
Operating through port 443, Psiphon will allow users in monitoring
countries the ability to send an encrypted request for certain
information, and for users in secure countries to send it back to
them. The UofT's Citizen Lab hopes to debut Psiphon at the
international congress of the free speech group PEN in May."
