Reporters without Borders opened in Paris the first “Anti-Censorship Shelter” for foreign journalists, bloggers and dissidents who are refugees or just passing through, where they can learn how to circumvent Internet censorship, protect their electronic communications and maintain their anonymity online.
Reporters without Borders and the Communication Securitycentre XeroBank joined in developing high-speed anonymity services, including encrypted email and web access, available free of charge to those who user the Shelter.
By connecting to XeroBank through a Virtual Private Network (VPN), their traffic is routed across its gigabit backbone network and passes from country to country mixed with tens of thousands of other users.
The Shelter is open 10 a.m. tot 6 p.m. Monday to Friday. Anyone wanting to use it should make a reservation by sending an email to shelter@rsf.org.
The Shelter could not have been created without the support of the Paris city hall.
