Interesting. I know the Chinese are alleged to be working very hard at cracking TOR as well because it can sidestep the the Great Firewall. Well, it’s nice to see the US Navy’s work is actually causing real tyrants grief.

Wonder where Freenet fits into this as well? Stronger? Weaker?

China has mostly neutralized Tor by making it nearly impossible for the client to connect to the Tor network. Tor developers, the last I had checked, were sure the Chinese had learned how to intercept the Tor protocols on Internet carrier’s routers. Since China has such a tightly controlled Internet infrastructure, they can choke off traffic right at the borders.

I was able to use Tor successfully my first year here, but eventually I had to switch to a free VPN (Ultrasurf) that’s more reliable.
