A Technical Guide to Anonymous Blogging
This guide has been modified from an article that originally appeared on Global Voices Online, a nonprofit global citizens' media project sponsored by and launched from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School. For additional information on blogging anonymously, you may also want to download Reporters Without Borders' Handbook for Bloggers and Cyber-Dissidents.
In April of 2005, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) posted its How to Blog Safely About Work and Anything Else. While the guide is rich in tips to ensure you don't reveal too much personal information while blogging, it doesn't look very closely at the technical issues associated with keeping a blog private. I decided to write a quick technical guide to anonymous blogging, trying to approach the problem from the perspective of a government whistle-blower in a country with a less-than-transparent government.
