    Hi, for those living in Thailand wanting to access banned sites (including this one, asian-ts is banned although not asiants!), can anyone recommend any free and fast proxy redirectors?

    Thanks,

    I was using:

    http://www.pureprivacy.com/

    in January and Febuary in Thailand internet cafes.

      Another one is www.thevirtualbrowser.com.

      The problem is that both of these are sometimes down (I found the pureprivacy one is down a lot) which can be frustrating.

      I use Anonymizer2005 now. 15 day free trial and then $29.95 to buy. I find it easy to use, fast and I am never blocked from sites now. When I used dial up I had no end of problems accessing ATS and the forum. Since we switched to True I have no problems at all.

        Another one that sometimes work, but is free:

        http://chrishemple.co.uk/

        And another free site: https://antiproxy.com

        Notice the https: This makes it a secure socket connection 128 bit - like the kind of connections the banks use. This makes it difficult for ISPs to block these sites. Antiproxy is a bit different as it will allow you to test certain ports and then generate a list of proxies that may work. Port 8000 is the most common one. I have used both of these in Thailand - antiproxy.com when I use my own laptop and dialup from hotel room, and the chrishemple.co.uk one when in the internet cafes.

          You are correct that using https makes a secure connection using SSL between the client and the server. However I fail to see how this makes any difference in it being able to be blocked as the protocol is irrelevant and the domain is the most common part of the URI that is blocked using regular expressions to determine what is allowed and what is not.

          On a different not I have offerend twice on this forum to setup and proxy on one of my servers at home for members to view the forum from places where it is blocked but only got one response. I will make the offer one last time and if there is enough people I will setup one up?

            The use of https: has no impact on actually using the proxy as you rightly pointed out. Antiproxy.com uses the secure connection as an option to reduce the possibility that the ISP will block the site so further useful proxies are no longer obtained.

            This is more common in Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that are quite vigorous in blocking ways to get around their censorship of the internet.
