If you tried to get a safe copy of your great software, for example, from Iran, the most straightforward way is to do with Tor [2]: $ torsocks curl -LO http://lynx.isc.org/current/lynx2.8.8rel.2.tar.bz2 However, this would result in: curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden Bans against Tor IP addresses are often observed in the wild (which are concerned by many researchers). However, what is your point in preventing users from getting your programs? [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1071270 [2] https://www.torproject.org/ Thank you, A random user P.S.
