New Chinese Proxy Work-Around

ESSORTMENT -- A new and already rather popular Taiwan-made proxy service has blown away China's Internet filters. The new service has made the Internet filters fully obsolete. Installing other proxies would cost experienced users between 10 and 30 seconds' time in accessing blocked websites and did deter the less motivated Internet surfers. But the new service, developed by Ultrareach.net makes it difficult to distinguish between viewing a blocked or non-blocked website.

In recent months, Internet traffic in China has slowed down dramatically as the Internet filters suffered from a chronic shortage in capacity as Internet traffic went up, because of the fast growth in the number of users and increased spam and virus attacks.

While the Internet blocks in China were more a nuisance than a real blockade, this latest service is likely to cause an arms race between the developers of China's Internet filters and those trying to circumvent them.
