You may not visit certain web pages? Try Your Freedom. It turns your local
PC into an unrestricted web proxy that provides access to all web pages that
are generally accessible.

• Time
restrictions
We have heard from users that they use Your Freedom to avoid time
restrictions. In most cases, existing connections are not disrupted by such
restrictions, and therefore all they need to do is to start the Your Freedom
client before the restriction is in place, and keep it open. The connection
between the client and the server part is persistent (this depends on the
connection protocol, however).

1.4 How does it work?
You need to run the client part of the Your Freedom software on your local PC. It is
written in Java and should normally run on nearly every PC without the need for
administrator rights. We also provide installer versions that do not require Java to be
installed, but you may need administrator rights to install these.

The client software then connects to one of our servers through a connection
protocol that is still available to you. In most cases this will probably be a HTTP
connection through a web proxy that you may use, or a “HTTPS” or FTP connection.
In many places, UDP may be used as well. In most cases all you’ll need to provide is
the address of a web or an FTP proxy (and probably authentication credentials); the
client will take it from there and find a way to connect if one exists.

Have a look at the picture below. The box on the left is your PC. Let’s say the
restrictive firewall won’t let you access hotmail.com and you want to read your private
email from your workplace; fire up the Your Freedom client and let it connect to one
of our servers, configure your web browser to use it, and your web browser will be
able to connect to hotmail.com by connecting to the Your Freedom client, who will
forward the requests to one of our servers, who will then forward the request to the
hotmail.com server. The replies from the hotmail.com server will take the same route
backwards.

The protocol is of course not illegal and it’s therefore silly to block it; we know best because we had
to block it on some servers as well but it remains open on most. Your actions may be illegal though –
Your Freedom can’t do anything about this, it remains your responsibility.
