Set up a proxy for Iran citizens!

You want to help, folks? Let me help you do it. Wish we could do more...

Follow this if you want to help, download program from here:
http://torir.org/
If you're outside of Iran and have a fast connection:
Follow instructions here, skip step four!. Set 'Sharing Settings' to "Help censored users..." and Set the 'relayport' to 30000+ (can go up to 64000). Be sure check the "Message Log" on the Vidalia Control Panel when you're done to make sureyour relay can be reached.
When you're done, email baklava at piratbyran.org with your Tor node IP and port(red line on picture). The dude is from the pirate bay and trusted 100%
If the message log gives warnings about geoip not being installed
GEOIP error fix:
Download this file and leave off the extension(right click, save as):
http://git.torproject.org/checkout/tor/master/src/config/geoip
place it in:
C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Tor\
Also be sure to forward the relay and directory ports from your router/firewall.
----
It goes like this:
1. You connect to Tor network
2. You change port so normal Tor users can't connect to you for a proxy
3. You tell baklava your IP and port from Tor, he tells his contacts
4. Iranian connects to you at port X
5. Your Tor program forwards this user to the Tor network.
Your PC won't be used as a single port to the outside world. I have my bandwidth limited to 80KB/s upload, since upload is the most important and that's almost my cap. Make sure Vidalia and Privoxy are running together.
After you set it up you can check the network graph to see how it's being used, and you shouldn't see muchusage until baklava gives your proxy out. If you see high, continuous usage immediately, then you did it wrong.

I fully support this as a good solution both for folks in Iran and those trying to help.

I am running this myself.

How to follow tags on twitter! The easy way: Use a service. I like
http://twittbee.com/IranElection/

Do it yourself:

http://thepaisano.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/twitter-hashtags-and-groups/

And don't forget to set your twitter time zone to Tehran!

Oh. And don't forget, Anonymous is on the job. Here's their HQ for this at the moment.

Didn't care for twitter until I heard about this...
 
I just got some news about another Internet outlet from my Iranian friends...

http://fd10.150m.com/

They say to simply open this link in another window or tab and just leave it open. It appears to be a portal of some kind for various Iranian websites, and I gather the purpose is to serve as a proxy for Iranians wanting to get access to the Internet while foiling the security goons.

Any comments on this?
 
I'll repeat what I said in the other thread to save time:

I suggest against it. It seems to be a very low-fi attempt to DDOS (distributed denial-of-service) attack Iranian government websites. I suggest against it for two reasons: 1) not all Iranian sources need to be downed, and 2) those who know what they're doing have the lists of targets that could be useful to the Iranian people, and are not sharing this publicly. I could also add that pages like this could also very likely be a tactic by the Iranian government to mislead the general chaos of the internet, and help to block legitimate attempts to connect to the outside world.
