Hi Tom,

If you are experiencing the web in censored ways, or if you want simply 
to advance the cause of censorless access, you would be hard pushed to 
beat installing Tor ( http://tor.eff.org , from memory) and using it for 
your own browsing efforts, but more importantly, install it/configure it 
to act as a server, too (either full, or only as 'transit' {middle man} 
server).  The latter will protect you from legal and other nastiness, 
possibly (but not definitely! ;)).

See the website for a full(er) explanation.
