Ubuntu Tutorials

you brought tears to my eyes. thank you! thank you! thank you!

Presumably I would I need to do something with port forwarding on my NAT router to make this squid proxy available to the outside world?

Please keep this Ubuntu away from this. Or, at least verify facts before getting involved. What “real injustice”, what “votes being ignored”? There are many thousands of Iranian students living all around the world, and a fair number of Iranian expatriates, who can shed much light on the dark mobs in Tehran. Look, it was only a few days ago that Obama finally admitted in public that the US paid for the 1950s mobs in Iraq. Is it not obvious that this is the same in 2009? Anyway, please keep Ubuntu out of it.

GREAT tutorial! I am in the process of making one for Iranian protesters. I was wondering is there a way to make it https? Cuz I heard that https can not be blocked (is it true?). Also the part that you said we have to paste those subnets, does that mean only IPs from Iran can access the proxy? And how/where did you gather all the subnets for Iran only?

Tnx again for this GREAT tutorial.

Just a thought, is this not similar to what TOR is supposed to do? I'm not in a situation to offer a proxy (the only machine I have only has 256mb of RAM so not much use for a Squid proxy as well as the other little bits it does), but if people downloaded something like TORPark or similar then this should offer them end-to-end encryption (everything's encrypted until it leaves a TOR exit node, I believe) meaning that it's more likely to make it out of the country (surely they could put pressure on ISPs to block these anonymous proxies as they crop up since they would in theory be able to track which IPs are being used as proxies).

Unless of course they just put a blanket ban on encrypted traffic leaving the country altogether

Apparently this is the replacement for TorPark; runs over the onion network for the browser and also provides a local SOCKS proxy to run other things over it such as IM clients. Maybe people could also run exit nodes as well as proxies and help in this way?

is there a way to get to know when people are using it?

how will this be halpful for the elections?

thanks but right now , when I write this message many people kill by police in Enghelab street , please seed this news

Thank you very much.
But they've implemented some mechanisms that block sites even if you use http proxies after some freely browsing! Some firewalls monitor the content of packets and mangles encrypted packets. Therefore we can't even connect via ssh to our servers out of Iran! No HTTP tunneling, No VPN s, No HTTP Proxies, those simply don't work. We constantly get timeouts after connecting to a vpn/ssh server!

Can anybody send me the already configured file (squid.conf.default) to shad_darvi@yahoo.com ? Thank you for your help and support for Iranian people

is the above mentioned change incorporated to the instructions above?
thanks.

A big problem. The filters used by the Iranian government are actually clever enough to realize the proxy request to 'blocked' sites and filter them out before it reaches the proxy server. A new method to encrypt the communication is needed!

I have been trying to use TOR/Vidalia on WinXP but my ISP (Insightbb.com) will not allow open communication – am getting a lot of *Warning* lines in the Message Log…am I helping? I sure wish I could but my ISP support says "No Open Ports" for residential connections in its TOS Agreement, so they have me over a barrell. Anyone with tips which can help me please do.

How do we run the two comands at the bottom? I'm a little confused. And does this work on a wirless computer becuase somewhere I heard it didn't?

Some one from Iran.
Great to whom concern about Freedom.
You all have your share hold in moving freedom toward.
Thanks

"If only you had presented the tutorial without editorial comments, as simple knowledge available to all freely! One wonders those who do not energetically protest stolen elections elsewhere such as in the USA 2000 and 2004, are so obsessed with Iran … so obsessed, as to simply ignore all verifiable facts let alone the desires of Iranians as a people, in favor of a smear campaign presented without a shred of evidence."

Your prose reads the way Rush Limbaugh's talks.. *shudder*..
you ought to try a little harder, Wallace, you'll convince no one here with such a pithy effort

I have heard this no where else.. could you elaborate?

Do you think it is anonymous proxy.I think this is a transparent proxy.Correct me if I am wrong

Hi

Is there no risk there are proponents of the old Shah’s regime among these protesters? They were ousted, after all. You would not want to let them use your proxy. Maybe it is better tol og the traffic after all, in case police come knocking on your door

I agree, about the Iranian government is actually clever enough to realize the proxy request to 'blocked' sites and filter them out before it reaches the proxy server. We need a new method to encrypt the communication.

somebody give me a proxy i am filterd

I’m from Iran and would like to thank all the people who care about us.

I believe internet censorship in Iran is even worst than China, the government puts many levels of filtering and even packet inspection and logging on traffic. It’s getting worse and worse everyday. They want people to hear just only what they say and nothing else.

I appreciate all efforts on internet freedom.
Thank you.

I need proxy site.please help me

Thank you, Wallace, for opening my eyes to the truth. Oh how blindly I fell for those all of those lies about the good and gentle government of Iran. It's such a relief to learn that they aren't actually engaging in censorship, torture, secret detention, and murder of unarmed civilians. Thank goodness for lofty intellectuals like you who can show us the light. Ubunnnnnnntu.
