The Great Firewall

[visualAd]

I have just read an artical about censorship in China. Apprently they use a firewall which everything from the outside must go through, allowing them to censor the Internet.

I would be interested to know if VBF is blocked from China. Any chinese people around?

I thought the China Firewall was common knowledge.

Is this the article?

Lol:

We have stored the url you suggested for potential future testing, but the real-time testing service is currently unavailable due to difficulties with establishing and maintaining connections to the Chinese proxy servers. This occurs because of countermeasures taken by the Chinese filtering system to disconnect users who attempt to access prohibited Web sites.

I've heard that only a true shau-lin mastah can walk through the wall of fire unharmed.

Still, many have tried, and many have died... or worse....
