Anonymous asked: I feel that I could ask this on your blog and I somewhat need your help to understand, but do you know anything about proxies? Where I'm going there is strict government over the web and I've read (forums) and heard (friends) about people using certain proxies to surf the web anonymously. Also, do you know anyone (blog/tumblr) that could provide more information about proxies? Thanks.
are you happy?
