In truth though, whilst COTSE do not keep logs, they do backup their data and do not hide the fact that they could identify a user and supply information if they were ordered to do so by a court. This inevitably means that there has to be an element of trust. For the record I do trust them, but if my life depended on it.......? For that reason concepts like TOR need to be encouraged and tested to the edge of destruction so that oppressed people can practice freedom.

The short story is that people inside censored countries have actual human trust relationship with people on the 'outside' and this software can be used by the two parties to provide secure tunnelled access. Check it out. A better option, and one that is based on providing a secure technological fix using human to human contact is psiphon (http://psiphon.ca/).
