Anonymization

I have been using www.anonymization.net to read news and go to banned sites. The following is a screen shot of www.irrawaddy.org through anonymization proxy.

However, I found this interesting. I couldn't go to http://www.geocities.com/zawmoethann using anonymization.net.

I managed to visit the site http://www.geocities.com/zawmoethann using a different proxy service. (Disclaimer: I don't know the validity of the story on that page. I am just testing technical aspects of proxy services inside Burma.)

My conclusion: The ISP knows that people are using anonymization services, but they deliberately allowed it turing a blind eye to the services. When there is something they really don't want people to read, they banned it even through the proxy service they know. I was able to get around using a different proxy service they don't know. Um.... strange.
