yea, it does look like OpenVPN is the way to go. if anyone out there could give us a brief, concise walkthrough on how to set it up (from scratch) on the N900 using a free service...that would be great.

One thing everyone is over looking is the ability for anyone on here that's on a 3G network to create basic user accounts for other folks giving them ssh access to their N900, then the users in China could setup ssh tunnels to the phones using something like putty (if they're on windows) and then point their browsers to the locally opened ports and viola! Browsing the internet through someone else's 3G connection. 
Just have to use a little imagination is all.

Eh.. "sharing" is relative. Essentially the N900 acts as a mobile proxy server. You're just logging into the box with an ssh client (ssh = secure shell, meaning it's encrypted traffic) like PuTTy, setting up a tunnel and then surfing wherever you need to essentially from the location of the phone.
So say you want something in the U.S, you would just have a U.S. N900 user create you a temporary account and off you go. Or in France, same thing, etc.
If everyone got on the bandwagon, it would be close to impossible to censor anyone.

I'm interested in your observations, how do the native people perceive their situation? Are they aware of the "glass bubble", do they care, are they bothered? In my experience they are really afraid discussing those issues.

On that note, I'm going to make a thread asking about creating user accounts.
