Perhaps this is a silly question, but what about using things like proxies?

Also, aren't there any hackers in Iran right now? If anybody is in need of an SSH tunnel out of the country, I'm sure that some of us HNers can help out (isn't this sortof what TOR is for?)

Is anybody here in Iran? Could you elaborate on what they're filtering an how?

I've heard that proxies are being passed around already. Also, saw some assistance in that area going on over at slashdot..

Could I trouble you to provide a link?

I'd like to help out if possible (have a couple of spare servers not doing anything now).

I'll doublecheck my IM logs. I know the slashdot thing was on the frontpage yesterday, but the other info I've been getting via IM from several friends with family over there..

Umm... I don't mean to be insensitive; but do these users use FriendFeed in English? Or is there already a Farsi version of FriendFeed?

I believe Friendfeed supports Farsi
