SPECIAL USAGE
There are some tools that may be developed which are not intended to
allow access to the entire Internet, but still allow people to communicate.
PEER-TO-PEER
Peer-to-peer connections are a type of connection in which two users
communicate without the need of a centralized server. Almost everything on the
Internet relies on client-server connections, though peer-to-peer is
increasingly being used. It is a viable way for communication because it is
incredibly hard to completely block and does not require a single server to
stay in service for the duration of the conflict. Unfortunately, almost all
peer-to-peer solutions require a network that is separate from the general
Internet, meaning that they would not allow dissidents to access their favorite
websites.
FREENET
FreeNet allows the users to view (either in open or darknet methods) a
completely peer-to-peer web. It has the benefit of being able to be a darknet,
meaning no one who isn’t trusted to get on is even able to connect. However,
this also greatly limits the content available on the darknet. Furthermore,
adding content is a fairly complicated process.
While FreeNet is a great system and currently in very active
development, it is not quite ready for use in a situation like Iran.

SUMMARY
In handling the Iranian firewall’s current measures and expansion,
there are a wide variety of options. However, at this time, none are ideal and
all are able to be theoretically filtered without cutting all Internet. We do
have several ways to keep the Iranian people communicating with the world and
each other and are developing new and expanded communication methods.
