I love it, that should make "watching for possible Tor connections" as hard as those bastards deserve. China'll need to throw even more resources at the job. They'll do it, of course. Australia has a very primitive "Great Firewall" thanks to ACMA, but they don't know how to do anything more advanced than DNS poisoning, so Tor mostly "just works" here for me. For now. I have a collection of pluggable transports and a saved list of bridges for when they take it to the next level. And SSH to my offshore shell accounts if they find a way to take it further still...

That is great news. The tor project is the best open source project there I have come across.

This is what the Brazilians need. Tor's WebTunnels is a solution to the problem of nation states like China, Russia, Iran and soon Brazil blocking Tor traffic by simply checking web traffic. With WebTunnels, it will look as though the user is browsing a simple website. The more we all use it and make it normal, the better it will be for the people that are unfortunately behind The Great Firewalls. Increase the anonymous set. SPREAD THE WORD!
