Ubuntu related question on Debian forum.

General networking question related to skirting country laws.

Although I find it bad that it is forbidden, those are your local laws.

It's not your distribution, as you say it's your network.

I've heard of proxies doing it or a VPN (Virtual Private Network) but TOR is to keep you secure and hiding so it blocks holes like Flash but it is supposed to work for FB according to some sources (How to Successfully Access Facebook in China - wikihow.com,) what "country?"

A nation is a group of persons united by the common error of their ancestry and a common dislike of their neighbors.

other than what is generally known
VPN
TOR

we can not help you break the laws of your country

that is a violation of this sites rules

Best solution for you: move

Please read the LQ Rules regarding such things:

Essentially, you're asking how to circumvent network security where you live. And while censorship of any type is a bad thing, the fact is, you have chosen to live where you do, and you're subject to those laws/rules. So either move, or gain political power and change the laws.

Very easy to say in a free, Western society. Some countries (like the one the OP resides, I assume) do not allow their nationals to move out (legally), nor give them the opportunity to change anything in their (political) circumstances. The Muslim world is regretfully a prime example (amongst many others!) And frankly, the OP did NOT choose to live there, (s)he was (assumingly) born there so as such your remark is highly inappropriate

Having said that, the request does violate LQ rules so I assume it'll be locked and removed pretty soon. In the mean time, Google is your friend

I was actually expecting a moderator to lock/close the thread because I was (correctly) assuming it was against LQ policy ... so ...

Sorry, but I know numerous people here in the US from Iran, Iraq, and Syria. All of them made it all the way to the US, so it *CAN* be done. Making it to other countries in Europe is even easier.

And the entire attitude of "They can't change anything, ever" is highly inappropriate...the people in any country can change anything, anytime they choose, if they want to pay the price for it. Yes, easier said than done...but that does not, in any way, change the facts; the OP can either leave, or effect change. Those are the things in their power. Whether it's easy or not isn't the issue.

Yes, it should be locked and removed, as these threads always are.

Hi,

Just because some people have left a particular country doesn't mean that everyone else who lives in that country is doing so by choice.

Evo2.

So if LQ locks it that's not as bad as their country?! (Song:) Five Man Electric Band - Signs with Lyrics Control will not fix what knowledge and wisdom can! [addHere]

Unfortunately circumvention of network restrictions isn't a valid topic for LQ.
Do note there's other forums on the 'net that may answer your question in more detail.


@All: In the scope of a technical question, making assumptions about ones willingness or choice wrt oppressive regimes, or suggesting somebody to migrate or make political changes as an "answer" are irrelevant, off-topic and possibly insulting as well. Please do not do that again.
