[OT] another proxy, but not open source :-(

[Scott Bennett <bennett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

     I don't know who "Censorship Research Center" might be, but they claim
to have a development project going for another encrypted proxy service.
However, they say it will be free software, but *not* be open source, so no
one can examine what they have done in order to look for bugs, design flaws,
etc. :-(  There isn't much real information at the web site,

	http://www.haystacknetwork.com

but what little there is looks very much like an attempt to sucker people
who don't understand much about security.
     Oh.  I almost forgot.  Their FAQ page mentions tor, complaining about
tor's publicly available directory and arguing that their method is better,
while not mentioning bridges.
