Yes! Go against the govt July 20, 2006

Internet users woke up to an unusual Monday: Their favourite blogs were not available.
What happened to the blogs? Slowly came the realisation that government had banned them. Banned ever-ything! Or ha-d they really?
By Tuesday, it became clear that the government had in fact asked for all of Blogspot to be blocked. As things turned out, it was an obscure blog on the Blogspot network that government was targeting as part of its regular drive at censoring unpleasant voices.
Internet Service Providers who received the directive, though, simply banned the entire network. Fortunately, technology can circumvent censorship. The methods fall into two categories.
One, if your ISP blocked the wrong site and you want is to step around the block, the simplest way is with Torpark, a project that combines the Firefox browser and the Tor anonymous proxy service into a single point-and-click install for Windows users. Get it at ttp://torpark.nfshost.com.
Torpark behaves exactly like the Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers you are familiar with, but is unaffected by censorship.
