Note: Usually all traffic on the Usenet is unencrypted so you can access these newsservers but the censors can easily monitor all your traffic. I strongly recommend you using SSL which more and more providers offer. If you only sometimes want to read some very common Newsgroups you can easily visit them via free web-based newsservers like Google Groups (formely DejaNews) or Mail2Web.com
