The Register gives a rave review to Peek-A-Booty, an open-source project to allow netizens behind repressive national firewalls (China, Iraq, etc) to access any page they want, using consumer computers outside the firewall as a proxy. Paul and Joey gave a fantastic presentation yesterday at CodeCon in San Francisco (they're sleeping it off in my living room right now), and Peek-A-Booty's really shaping up into a useful app — I plan to use it to secure my network activity while connected over 802.11 and other insecure transports. Well done, boys!
