In light of the recent ban of Facebook in Pakistan I’m going to show you how to bypass any web filter,maintain the highest form of privacy, on ANY computer, and without installing any software or visiting lame “proxy” websites! And it’s all thanks to Torfox, a derivative of Firefox and Tor mashed together! Tor uses multiple layeres of cryptography (hence the Onion routing analogy), ensuring perfect forward secrecy between routers (You and your destination). In short, TOTAL PRIVACY, and BYPASSES WEB FILTERS.

Simply go to http://torfox.org/ and download the portable Torfox Zipped package, and extract it to a folder, preferably on a flash drive.

Then run torfox.exe and it will open a slim looking version of Firfox. The first page won’t load right away, it could take up to three mins to connect, but then once it does, you can surf anywhere, without limits or worries!

Screencast coming soon!

Wild Card DNS is easy on Godaddy.

Under “Take Total DNS Control”

create a new “A NAME” Record

Like this:

- Domain: *
- IP: 123.123.123.123 (but use the IP of the server, but you knew that)

But wait! There are a couple of things to consider:

1. You MUST use the “Deluxe” hosting plan
2. You MUST Purchase a “Dedicated IP Address”
3. You SHOULD use PHP5 (not 4)

Failure to get a Dedicated IP Address will result in getting this Message:

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
