Though governments of certain countries have imposed access control over news web sites, the expectations of the governments are failing as the viewers tend to gain access to the censored web sites using alternative methods. It fails the efforts of Anusha Palpita, the Director General of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka.

Many viewers use proxy web sites such as 'hide my ass' http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy/ in order to access censored web sites. The Tor browser gives facility to access censored web sites

The methods which do not involve using a proxy websites to access censored websites are also highly popular.

Tor is among one of those popular methods.

Tor is a web browser similar to Fire Fox and Chrome.Tor was originally designed, implemented, and deployed as a third-generation onion routing project of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.

It was originally developed with the U.S. Navy in mind, for the primary purpose of protecting government communications.

Today, it is used every day for a wide variety of purposes by normal people, the military, journalists, law enforcement officers, activists, and many others.

Individuals use Tor to hide their IP address and to connect to news sites, instant messaging services, or the like when these are blocked by their local Internet providers.

Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive communication: chat rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors, or people with illnesses.
