freenet.sourceforge.net, freenetproject.org, freenet-china.org
Voice of America (www.voa.gov), BBC (www.bbc.com),
Radio Free Asia (www.rfa.org), Washington Post,
New York Times, CNN, LA Times, etc
Falun Gong (falundafa.org, faluninfo.net, minghui.org ....)
And many many other news, political, human rights,
or religious websites.
China has completely blocked all newsgroups!!!
At one time, Caltech hosted a small website for "Falun Gong
Club in Cultech" on the same server that offers student
services. The Chinese communists block the entire caltech
webserver. So applicants in China were not able to
complete the application until the matter was settled through
high deplomatic channels. And of course, the Club website
was moved out of the Cultech server.
How?
They have a national firewall that filters email and http
packets. If they discover certain key words (like freenet) used
they will examine where they are from, and automatically
block the source, and in many cases, persecute the requester.
In many Internet bars, they have software to discover that
if you trying to visit any banned website (even through
proxy), and set off a sound alarm. The software is
generally called Internet-110, where 110 is the phone number
for police there. The son of the Chinese President directly
oversees the Internet-110 project.
There are also a lot of government supported professional
hackers to hack the above sites. So I knew sooner or later
freenetproject.org will be hacked.
