The client comes with a nifty pre-configured plugin which displays a list of all the available VPN servers offered by VPN Gate (see below). Not only does SoftEther offer SSL-VPN tunneling via HTTPS to pass more easily through NATs and firewalls, it has another trick up its sleeve. The beauty of running the client (which is also developed by the University and will soon go open source) soon becomes apparent. This requires the easy installation of the Windows freeware client SoftEther VPN but it’s straightforward and only takes a couple of minutes. Several protocols are accepted, such as L2TP/IPsec, SSTP and the popular OpenVPN, but things get really streamlined for those who select the SSL-VPN option. Once connected the user’s IP address is hidden and switched for one issued by the VPN of their choice selected from dozens around the world. No sign up or user registration is needed. Volunteers have given the University access to dozens of VPN servers located all over the world which people can access from pretty much any device running Windows, Linux, iOS, Android and more. The Graduate School of University of Tsukuba, Japan, has just launched the VPN Gate Academic Experiment Project with the aim “to expand the knowledge of Global Distributed Public VPN Relay Servers.” We’re very happy to help them with that today. Best of all, it takes just a few minutes to setup and it’s completely free. The Pirate Bay is blocked in many countries and just this week the UK added another three sites to its ISPs’ filters – KAT.PH, H33T and Fenopy.īut, as mentioned countless times in the past, these filters represent mere temporary roadblocks for the determined and today we bring news of an exciting project that allows almost anyone to access any site they like in seconds. In recent times the notion of website blocking has become fashionable in the West too, mainly because certain domains are viewed as offensive to the music and movie industries. Overall, oppressive regimes tend to see some websites as having a destabilizing effect, so they censor them to maintain control.
Iran also has concerns that its citizens’ minds will be influenced by Western thinking via the web.
However, the blocking of ‘normal’ sites is much more controversial.Ĭhina is infamous for its Great Firewall and its censorship of anything it pleases from Twitter to YouTube. No matter which country you live in there are always people in authority seeking to limit which websites you’re able to view.Īdmittedly some sites are quite rightly deemed repulsive to society in general and 99% of the public have few problems with them being hidden away.
