You can get through your government’s firewall to browse restricted websites. (e.g. YouTube.)

It’s a similar situation to Tor. Theoretically, if there were a huge number of “volunteers”, it might work. In practice, just like with Tor, these “volunteers” probably have to deal with tons of illegal content flowing through their machine, so there likely aren’t many of them.
Do systems like VPN Gate represent a practical workaround to this form of discrimination?
