The Australian government’s plan to censor the internet is now opt-out. That’s right. Well, it’s still mandatory for ISPs to implement for all customers (as far as I know. Conroy might change his mind. Again) but since bypassing it will be trivial, as I will discuss in future posts, it is effectively opt-out for anyone who doesn’t want it.

I will rank the difficulty of these bypass methods as easy, moderate, or technical. Easy methods will be easy for even an Internet newbie who doesn’t know a URL from a URI. Moderate should be able to be done with anyone who knows how to install software on their PC. Technical-level methods will require knowledge of unix and windows command lines and remote access to a server in a non-filtered country.
