Let's add it to the list of reasons why this country is the best.
Canadian university researchers have developed software that will let users hop over governments' Internet firewalls, raising the prospect of unfettered Internet access in countries that have long tried to control how residents use the Web.
The Psiphon program, developed by computer experts at the University of Toronto, allows an Internet user in a country with no online curbs to set up an account for someone in a country that censors Web content, and that person can then surf the net without restrictions.
The Psiphon program works by allowing an individual in a country where there is no censorship ban on what an individual can view such as Canada or the US to set up a user name and a password for a person in a country that censors like China, Iran or Syria.
The Canadian or the American user can then pass on this information to the user in the above mentioned countries, who can then log on and use the American or Canadian's computer as a server to browse the internet
The Web traffic between the two users is encrypted and secure making it difficult to trace the usage.
