A group of Iranians has created a group called Iran Proxy. This group’s goal is to fight the pervasive censorship of their country by creating proxy websites (sites that allow a reader to get around a filtering block) as well as educate Iranians on various ways to safely navigate the obstacles in the way of the free exercise of expression.
Representatives of Iran Proxy told to Radio Farda (English available here on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty):
In recent months, the Iranian state-run telecommunications center has begun the launch of an entirely new filtering system that includes a software robot able to observe viewed web pages and block them after drawing a comparison with the defined algorithms. The new supervision system has got additional features that add to the country’s filtering ability. The ability to block pages that link to filtered websites is one of the features of the new method that is currently being applied. Given these facts, if OpenNet repeats the research (it did on Iranian censorship in 2004) now, it will encounter blocking results so much higher that they might even be unimaginable.
More information on proxies is available here. Here is a list of hosted proxy servers.

To the Iran Proxy group. Please contact me. I am outside the US and would like to help your effort. Robert -PROTECTED EMAIL
Until and unless Robert identifies himself in far greater detail, I would employ some healthy skepticism regarding his offer.
(No offense, Robert, if you’re legitimate, but security services are not above using ploys like this to root out people like the IPG.)
I need an strong antifilter
