It seems to me that there's a larger pool of IP addresses that are potentially less convenient to blacklist (although I'm concerned that the colo/residential IP address distinction beloved of antispam activists could lead some governments to try completely blocking connections to overseas residential addresses by default -- pushing a norm that there should just not be any international pure peer-to-peer services). If you do the circumvention in a more peer-to-peer fashion, perhaps there aren't many people who know about the proxy and there aren't such a statistically remarkable number of people connecting to it. -- Seth Schoen <sch...@eff.org> Senior Staff Technologist https://www.eff.org/ Electronic Frontier Foundation https://www.eff.org/join 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA 94109 +1 415 436 9333 x107 -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
