[Gllug] Bypassing the Great Firewall of China

[An Metet]

Hi there.

I have a friend living in China who wants to be able to read foreign
news while living in Shanghai.  Of course, the Chinese government
knows better and restricts access to subversive sites like CNN and
BBC.

So, what's the best way to help my friend out?  Obviously the
penalties if caught are pretty steep, though apparently everyone gets
around the filtering anyway.

I was thinking just let them tunnel in with ssh and use my personal
proxy server.  If they send ALL their web traffic this way, it'll look
a bit suspicious, but if they just use it occasionally it shouldn't be
a problem.

Any better or more elegant ways to do it?  My friend is using Windows,
but is technically competent.  Needs to be simple, but workable under
Windows.

to the list.)
