lol I can't open that site either. The whole domain's blocked. Same deal with your blog Bill. Pretty much half the internet is censored over here, but the funny thing is that literally everyone knows how to bypass it. The vast majority of people use VPNs. They pay like $5 a month or something for access to servers that are mostly located in the US and EU.
I'd say there's at least a million people in Tehran alone who have at least 3-4 VPN subscriptions at 5 bucks each. (You need one for each PC.) That's a shitload of money needlessly leaving Iran because of the government's utter incompetence. I mean ffs, why censor the Internet when you know people are gonna get past it anyway? And why create a bullshit market for some crap that a bunch of companies in the US are going to exploit and profit from? Wouldn't it be smarter if you (the Iranian government) set up VPN servers outside of Iran since you're the one creating this market? Shit.
I really hope Iran's Internet Police reads this, and I hope they know how to use google translator.

Maybe knowing there are countries that can't access his blog will inspire Bill to start giving first Subversify first publishing rights to his very finely written articles. Google's new policies do not allow us to publish reprinted articles as part of their sponsored news, and for writers, Google sponsorship is a big plus. Not only that, if you want paying jobs as a writer, you need to be able to direct your potential clientele to a website, not a shared blog site. I've landed more than one paying job with my samples at Subversify, and Bill's ability as a writer are exemplary. Fortunately, we can publish his cartoons without penalties, so you can read them there. Raghead is quite a popular item.

I've written about VPN before...pretty nifty technology there. Can't stop reporting... I really like Bill. It's a shame he can't stand me.  |
