    I’m a Sb regular, and I didn’t notice the DDoS, at any time.
    Is there a technical reason why Canadian readers would be less affected than US ones ?

    I have no clue.

    I’ve been sending my IP adress to the aforementioned mail adress daily for the last few days. I’m not going to keep doing that, since they’ve never been able to unlock my adress before I got a new one from my ISP.

    I’ll just stick to using Ultrasurf until they’ve sorted it out.

    Ultrasurf? Is that a kind of surboard?

    Do NOT use UltraSurft. See here: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=237184&page=5

    It’s malware. Keep to anonymity technologies with more transparent infrastructure.

    @Chroma: Thanks for the info.

    While reading that thread did not convince me fully of US malicious nature, and all testing on my side with Wireshark, TCPView etc came up empty on malicious behavior, I’m gonna go hunting for a different lightweight solution anyway.

    Any suggestions?

    BTW: I’m able to access Scienceblogs without any funky proxy thingamajigs again! Yeah!
