Tor's weblog

I have just been asked with someone living in China (Beijing) that has just lost access to Google due to internal censorship, and one of the solution I have advised them to try is CCDN, so I am waiting for feedback at the moment:

The Coral Content Distribution Network:
Are you tired of clicking on some link from a web portal, only to find that the website is temporarily off-line because thousands or millions of other users are also trying to access it? Does your network have a really low-bandwidth connection, such that everyone, even accessing the same web pages, suffers from slow downloads? Have you ever run a website, only to find that suddenly you get hit with a spike of thousands of requests, overloading your server and possibly causing high monthly bills? If so, Coral might be your free so

basically you add .nyud.net:8080 to the end of any url to proxy through their network.

Interesting idea - now let's see if it works in practice.
