  • Not Open Source
  • Proxy server can perform Man-in-the-middle attacks
  • Proxy servers (and maybe some other central server) keep logs

You are better off using tor or I2P.
obviously anyone would use proxy tools for using blocked sites... good sites are not block (banking etc) for that don't use proxy sites.

tor doesn't logs user activity?

I think the Government is acting stupidly in some cases.....If we need to use it then we'll find a get through at any cost....Why don't they understand this simple thing?? Any idea??

Govt. people are unaware that there are workarounds.

wht is I2P and how to use it?

Check out their site. It is a form of hidden internet that resides on the clearnet. It is more suited for accessing within I2P services. If you want to browse normal internet anonymously and circumvent censorship tor is better. However if you have to host something you can't host in the clearnet, you should use I2P. Nobody will be able to tell where your server is located if you run a site inside I2P and so it is harder to take down. It even resists DDoS attacks I think.

I think same function as tor. set up relay is really very easy.

I am not sure about legal stuff here but if govt tell ISPs to block a site, isn't your accessing it illegal? If it is, then you should use something that won't be traced back to you. Proxies and things like Ultrasurf are hardly safe.

How the hell can a government block stuff without explaining why they are doing so. Correct me if i am wrong but I don't think the government has announced anything about blocking adf.ly
Also, guys remove the ways to bypass blocking we don't want them to patch their systems ;)

better than hidemyass??

Well, lets say you are browsing something today using hidemyass and it is legal but a week from now a high court order makes it illegal. For some reasons the govt has to check your internet usage and they see you went to hidemyass and then you connected to an IP. They can then just get hidemyass to give them logs of what you did. Same with ultrasurf. They now know you visited an illegal site.

When you use tor or I2P, the govt will see what IP you connected to. If possible, they can even force the said person/company using that IP to give them logs but they can't give anything. They don't even know what you were browsing. None of the participating servers in tor or I2P knows what you are browsing except you.

Disclamer: I haven't read the source code of either tor or I2P myself so I have to trust other people to check and see if there are any backdoors or other nasty stuff in it.
