USB Dongle Smashes Great Wall Of China Internet Control
The internet is something we all take for granted. We surf, play and view at our leisure, but for some, this freedom we have is a far cry from their everyday life. Who am I talking about? China. It’s been know since the birth of the internet that China has ultimate control on what you see and hear from the internet.
USB dongle is pre-loaded with software which will secure the communications of any computer it is slotted into. Made available by Germany’s Chaos Computer Club, the stick uses the TOR (The Onion Router) network to cloak your connections, routing traffic around the world through anonymous computers, thus avoiding detection.The USB dongle is available for $30 and is clearly a must-have travel item for this years 2008 Olympics.
