This is a little ironic as I had an email from a former colleague in Dubai. She asked whether I was still running Psiphon on my computer. It seems that some television that they watch must come via P2P sites.
The United Arab Emirates blocks Internet sites. Locally this is supposedly a way to protect citizens. In reality, of course, it's just a clever means of preventing 'freedom of speech'and the unfettered flow of ideas that may be contradictory to those who hold illegitimate power. Condoning censorship of any sort is a political means to keep others subservient. It happens in all sorts of places, of course. But P2P sites? I bet the greedy national telcom company is more interested in trying to preserve bandwidth than stopping porn.
Anyway, I seem to have forgotten the password to my wireless router and I'm sure I need to open port 443 on it. The thing is, I'm not sure when I'm going to have time to get it up and running. There are too many hours of TV to see first.
