// Fed up with open internet? Looking for someone to watch over you while surfing  this dangerous network linked by copper wires ? And you are a Firefox user ! You can install the China Channel Firefox add-on, Internet users outside China can avail themselves of Chinese government supervision and all free of charge. Click here to download the add-on directly. I have tried the add-on, wow, people living in China can’t even access google.com, facebook.com and many other famous websites. Ouff, hopefully, I live in Mauritius.

Thanks to this add-on no more exposure to sexual, malicious, racist and violent content of the internet. And users in China who wants to bypass the Great Firewall of China, check out this post on how to bypass blocked websites.

The China Channel add-on uses the SwitchProxy Tool add-on to connect the user to various Internet proxies inside China. This allows the user to surf the Web using a Chinese IP address, protected from thorny topics like freedom, democracy, religion, and politics by China’s censorship technology. After a bit of research, I found that the poor folks in China can’t even access my blog without some 1337 h4X0ring skills.

What is the Great Firewall of China?

Also known as the Golden Shield Project,  is a censorship and surveillance project operated by the Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China.  A major part of the project includes the ability to block content by preventing IP addresses from being routed through and consists of standard firewall and proxy servers at the Internet gateways. ~ Wikipedia
