I travel for work and my travels sometimes take me to countries which are less… civilized.
Many of these countries are ruled by totalitarian thugs who attempt to control what their subjects can access on the Internet.
To access the Internet from those countries, I am often forced to use proxy sites.
These proxy sites let me visit MySpace, FoxNews and other websites which may not be approved by the dictatorial bureaucrats which run the countries information infrastructure.
Of course, they also help back here in the civilized world if you spend time at a job or a school run by similar dictatorial types.
