reporter from The Economist in Thailand seeks help
If someone proficient with helping a newbie set up Tor et al on XP to
get by national firewalls wants to personally assist Peter Collins
from The Economist set up his machine, please email me, and I'll hook you up?
I hear he has skype, but he doesn't have direct access to
http://tor.eff.org for downloads, and I don't know what other mirrors
he might have blocked.
he says:
Hello, I am The Economist's South-East Asia correspondent, based in
Bangkok, and my colleague Ben Sutherland said you might be able to
arrange for me to get some information on how to use TOR's network
to work around the considerable amount of internet censorship in
this part of the world. I don't expect that Thailand's new, military
government is going to ease up on blocking sites, so I suspect my
need for proxy servers is likely to increase!
I am reasonably proficient in IT matters, so perhaps all I need is
an e-mail explaining how to set up my PC (which runs Windows XP) to
use the network. Then if I have any problems, maybe I could e-mail
for advice. Many thanks, in anticipation, for your help, and I look
forward to hearing from you,
Ben Sutherland of the Economist wrote an article on Tor for their
upcoming "technology quarterly" edition, and when he heard that Peter
was having ever more problems with the national firewalls in
Thailand, he asked if I could get Peter a little setup help.
Thanks!
