Robert Epstein, senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, recommended using a program called Tor, an open network software program that lets users surf the web anonymously. Epstein suggested putting the program on a flash drive or SD card rather than on hardware.<\/p>\n
\"That way, even if your computer is inspected, there will be no sign of Tor on it,\" he told CNBC.<\/p>\n
Once in the program, double-click on \"Start Tor Browser\" to open a special version of Firefox that gives secure access to any website. Tor works by relaying users' request to visit a site through multiple computers around the world. To speed up that process, click on the tools tab in the upper-left corner of the browser and \"change your identity\" to reroute and thus get faster access.<\/p>\n
\"No matter what country you are in, if you want to preserve your privacy online, you should probably never go directly to Google.com through a conventional browser,\" he said. A proxy from Google known as http:\/\/startpage.com<\/a> is, along with Tor, \"for almost anyone, anywhere, the safest ways to access the Internet at the moment.\" <\/p>\n Reuters contributed to this report.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Excerpt from:<\/p>\n Get past government Internet blocks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Robert Epstein, senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, recommended using a program called Tor, an open network software program that lets users surf the web anonymously.
