UProxy allows users in the U.S. to give their trusted friends in Iran—people they might already be emailing or chatting with—access to the open U.S. Internet.
How long until the feds start issuing pen registers to users?
“The user in Iran can get unfiltered access to the Internet that’s completely uncensored and will look just like it does in the U.S.,” says Cohen. “It’s completely encrypted and there’s no way for the government to detect what’s happening because it just looks like voice traffic or chat traffic. We wanted to build a proxy service that builds on top of trusted relationships that already exist.”
The irony is that "the government" in the above statement can go either way. It will be a sad day when ordinary U.S citizens get their friends in Iran and China to use it so that their activity doesn't become another entry in a Utah data centre. Alfie -- Alfie John alfiej@fastmail.fm
