Special Note #2 : Tips escaping blocks @ Iran

Some simple tips you can follow to stay connected.

1)Since Internet speeds have been curbed down, turn off the images from your browser.
Use simple HTML based versions of websites whereever they can be found(like GMAIL)
Or use MOBILE versions, like "m.facebook.com"
For IMs you can use "m.ebuddy.com" (with a proxy if its blocked)

2)Change DNS Servers, use openDNS (208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220) or 4.2.2.2 / 4.2.2.3
(Guide on how to change your DNS: http://bit.ly/6iqbA

3)Use SSL(https) of sites whereever they can be found (Gmail/Twitter), will give you privacy and even unblock certain websites

4)Use proxy sites/servers, we at UB-N3T can provide you Proxy Sites so that you can escape blocks, please keep following this blog for more new proxies.
Proxies wont just unblock the sites, they will even give privacy.
(More proxies for IRAN very soon)

5)YouTube blocked? There are many more video sharing websites that can be used to upload and share vidoes! Since we dont know the senario in your city, we cannot exactly tell which sites are not blocked but heres a list : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_sharing_websites
You can use proxy sites with some, though most of them may not work!

TinyPic.com supports EMAIL uploads for registered users

6)Have senstive emails to send? Use emails with encryption: http://www.hushmail.com/

7)Have Data that is sensitive on your harddisks? Encrypt your hard-disk well ! use TRUEcrypt (www.truecrypt.org)
