Building a web circumventor or proxy server
timf: Rent a linode/slicehost node and put three services up: OpenVPN, SSH, and a HTTPS server.  Access in descending order of availability (blocking):OpenVPN: use it for what it's made for.SSH: use the "-D" socks5 feature.HTTPS: use CGIProxy hosted behind a password wall,  http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/And sure, also try putting up an http proxy server but those are often banned via applevel protocol matching, right?  The HTTPS option above can only be stopped if you are A) blocked to your IP or B) not allowed to do any HTTPS at all.
