Excellent info, thanks.

Great. I will inform others who want to help but do not know how.

Do you know if he reads this list? Have you contacted him about Tor? The
Revolutionary Guard has stated they will crack down on anyone disseminating images
out of Iran. I fear they could be running honey pots in the form of simple squid
proxies and such. So austinheap just trusts each provider of squid proxies at face
value? That seems very dangerous...
