"people are using VPN tunnels to circumvent the blocked internet" .. but I do take that as a superb hint for a future post! It's good to hear people as passionate as me about freedom of information. Pidgeons aside, there are three ways I could be updating my site, as it is all, completely 100% blocked:- - logging into my VPS and working directly, remotely, in the database (cos hey, the website is merely a frontend for a server .. and these oppressive types don't seem to block an entire IP for some reason, just domain names) - working remotely using a database client, which would simply give me a shiny GUI version of the above - using a proxy after all and, well, fibbing a bit .. but clearly I simply couldn't do that. Just a bit too blatent, no? .. Take your pick! For sure, each method would work. Hi Robert, thank you .. your comments are encouraging.

Had a bad cold to shake off. That's a bummer with your site being censored. You are right, just keep at what you are doing. Same thing with the Chinese Governement and censorship. Blogger, Wordpress.com, Tumblr, all blocked. But their people are using VPN tunnels to circumvent the blocked internet. Don't take this as a hint for a next article. Or you might end up in something like Midnight Express. Are you settling in nicely ? Hi guv!

Kind of weird .. got here to find my site is censored! Something to do with the fact I have some tutorials showing people how to proxy!! Ironically, I have another such guide scheduled to publish today. I will not stop it as it was published from Spain, so I have broken no law. This is rather strange though. In the west, we are so used to freedom of speech, relatively at least. Suddenly, I am having to reevaluate my position, legally. For sure I do not want to end up like something out of Midnight Express. Will be posting about this .. tx Robert .. am here in the UAE now. Kind of weird .. got here to find my site is censored!
