href=\"\/propaganda\/\">heavily<\/a> <a href=\"\/virtually-censored\/\">censored<\/a> in China. This can be annoying when you want to catch up on the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/\">news<\/a>, look something up in an online <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/\">encyclopedia<\/a> or even just <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/\">search<\/a>. Of course, there are plenty of ways around this, even for those with little technical understanding. My favourite is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tor_(network)\">Tor<\/a>, which consists of a network of virtual tunnels which bounce your requests randomly around the world (using distributed <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Onion_routing\">onion routing<\/a>) providing both unfiltered access and anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"242\" class=\"wp-image-529\" src=\"https:\/\/randomwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tor.png\" alt=\"Tor Network\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing and setting up Tor is dead simple &#8211; check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torproject.org\/\">guide<\/a> for instructions. You&#8217;ll notice that web pages take longer to load when using Tor due to the pages being sent via a &#8220;twisty, hard-to-follow route&#8221; but it&#8217;s better than a blank error page! I use the <a href=\"https:\/\/getfoxyproxy.org\/\">FoxyProxy<\/a> extension for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/en-US\/firefox\/\">Firefox<\/a> which allows you to set up rules for which sites are viewed over Tor, it will even try to automatically detect which pages are blocked and then route the connection appropriately &#8211; pretty cool stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>N.B.<\/strong> This technique not only applies to China but can be used anywhere in the world, so whether you&#8217;re in Belarus, Burma, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkmenistan Uzbekistan, Vietnam or just the UK it should still work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>P.P.S.<\/strong> For everything, you could ever want to know about Google&#8217;s self-censorship check out <a href=\"http:\/\/blogoscoped.com\/archive\/2007-03-02-n19.html\">this FAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy uncensored surfing ^_^<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"279\" class=\"wp-image-536\" src=\"https:\/\/randomwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blocked.png\" alt=\"Blocked Randomwire\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update (08\/03):<\/strong> According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatfirewallofchina.org\/\">this site<\/a> my site is blocked from China&#8230; actually it isn&#8217;t.
