Ministry bad. Proxies good.

Alrighty. So you are pissed off with Batelco and the Ministry of Disinformation, Truth, Culture and Censorship, or whatever they are calling themselves these days. 

First of all, don't just accept it. Complain. Write letters. Scream. Sign petitions. Scream louder. Complain more. 

And then, when your vocal cords are suitably painful, bypass the stupid pointless censorship. 

How? It's simple. 

Download something called Hotspot. The Ministryites know about it but you can get it from a number of mirrored sites. Be slightly patient, and it shall appear. There is a downside... it is slow. Yes, slow. Slower than the pathetic stone age speeds that BaZainCom call Internet. Still, there is no 'site blocked' nonsense, no blood pressure spikes and no broken computer monitors to contend with. 

Another alternative is Ultrasurf. Again, you will have to do a little looking, but not much. Install, follow instructions and PRESTO... no 'site blocked' headaches. Unfortunately, Untrasurf, while not as slow as Hotspot, doesn't allow access to a bunch of sites, for reasons I cant be bothered to explore. 

But not to worry. You see, while these applications help get around the annoyingness, their single best use is to access the lists and lists and lists of brand spanking new Proxies that nice people from all over the globe upload on a daily basis. Find a new proxy from a list of many, shove it into your browser and be on your way. It may take a few attempts, and the proxy that works for you may only last a day or two at the outside, but it works. 

Better still, visit a proxy group on Yahoo or Google or somewhere. Many of them have email lists... which means you can get a list of brand new proxies in your inbox every single day. I could give you all step by step instructions, but I am far too lazy. 

Be free. Be anonymous. But never, EVER stop complaining.
