Freedom Stick Is Better Than Freedom Fries
No, I'm not referring to something called French Stick - whatever that might be - that has been renamed to Freedom Stick in an effort to punish the French for not siding with the US in their war against terror. Freedom Stick is a software for an USB device that aims at defeating the virtual (fire)wall around China and any other country.
The aim is to provide every Internet user with the opportunity to surf the Internet without fearing censorship or prosecution. The Freedom Stick basically contains a version of TOR and a Firefox browser that can be used to connect to the Internet through The Onion Network.
It was designed with ease of use in mind. Just download the archive from the Chinese Wall page of the German Chaos Computer Club and unpack the contents on the USB device. If autostart is enabled the system should automatically start the Vidalia Control Panel which establishes the connection with the Tor network. Firefox is opened i that connection is successful and the user can surf the Internet using the anonymity of the Tor network.
The stick is only working on Windows operating systems. Linux users on the other hand usually know about these things and are able to implement them easily as well.
