                        after reading all ur conversation...<br />
                        <br />
                        <br />
                        for me i didnt understand a very important thing :<br />
                        how come a software or tools as Telex and is not anonymity??????<br />
                        because the most of blocked sites by the governments are restricted also and censored...<br />
                        <br />
                        <br />
                        so i dont think a software like Telex can work against these governments cause no body is ready to loose his freedom....<br />
                        <br />
                        couldn't resist - sorry<br />
                        "cause no body is ready to loose his freedom..."<br />
                        we're already losing our freedoms<br />
                        tor is about running and hiding<br />
                        <br />
                        thx<br />
