Light Blue Touchpaper » Ignoring the “Great Firewall of China”

However, because the original packets are passed through the firewall unscathed, if both of the endpoints were to completely ignore the firewall’s reset packets, then the connection will proceed unhindered! We’ve done some real experiments on this — and it works just fine!!

This is a very easy-to-use way of getting around most of the censorship done by the so-called “Great Firewall of China”. I applaud any attempts to route around censorship, especially political censoring like the government of China does.
