Well i havent tried tor yet as the university seems to block


Well i havent tried tor yet as the university seems to block attempts to establish a connection with it. I can however use it with 201 adsl modem. Using my proxy in ireland works for a majority of things that are blocked such as wikipedia but strangely does not work for hotmail. Just a note google.ie and google.com in english seems to be blocked recently too. It occationaly works but most of the time is blocked or is blocked soon enough. (especially the images search for obvious reasons but google.cn works fine (no surprise)). Now gmail is not working now possible because google is blocked -> look at wher ewww.gmail.com redirects you its a subnet in google which would explain why its blocked. I think this is all a radical improvement of the censoring system where some things are going to stop working completely for a while until the firewall is improved. Just a guess but i cannot understand how the proxy is not working if tor works unless they have some way to monitor known proxys. for instance while surfing stuff like wikipedia works fine but if you try to visit a really anti ccp website (think it was laogai.com or something) the proxy will stop working instantly. tor will work. Im not too informed on how this works but its just confusing because i thought tor just changes proxys every so often to hide your ip. As for joe well he probably is an intelligent guy studying or working in shanghai. Some people just act silly on the internet to see your response it gives tehm a buzz.
