Anonymouse, a major China censorship work-around, bites the dust?

As of right now in a Beijing bar and restaurant, Anonymouse.org is inaccessible. It returns the "connection reset" message that is a hallmark of most Chinese internet controls.

Anonymouse is one of the most commonly used tools among my friends for accessing websites blocked in China. Its limitations, including inability to load complex web pages, i.e. those using javascript or streaming video, led me to seek out other options, but Anonymouse has been an important tool for many.

One alternative, proxy4china.com, does a better job dealing with complex pages, and is working again after a period of error pages and other problems.

Can anyone confirm or deny a blocked Anonymouse?

Why cant they use tor? (www.torproject.org)

@Killer_KF Tor works just fine, but it's comparatively quite slow.

The same way Apple has bitten the dust! (over, and over and over again) Anonymouse working just fine on residential China Telecom ADSL in Shanghai. The GFW is a fractured, fickle beast... :P

Anonymouse stopped working in Beijing two days ago.

Yeah, my connection here in Beijing is through CERNET, and Anonymouse does not work. I actually had problems accessing it weeks ago -- it was sporadic. Now it's fully down.

Thanks for posting about this.

I am in Xian (Central China) and I confirm it as well: anonymouse.org is blocked.

Amnesty International Australia is campaigning about Internet censorship in China. Put your name to the pledge - http://action.uncensor.com.au/pledge/ - which Amnesty will give to the Chinese Government and Internet companies who assist it in censorship.

I'm in Shanghai and Anonymouse is not working. But proxy4china is pretty fast.
