How does the school find students who “circumvent the wall” to access foreign websites? According to Teacher Xiao An from the Information Office, the school has pre-deployed Anbotong’s internet behavior management system. Through IP reverse tracing and real-name identification, it can accurately locate students who “circumvent the wall”, and catch them every time.
What is “circumventing the wall”?
“Circumventing the wall” is not about climbing over a wall, but rather bypassing national network censorship to access websites that are blocked. The “wall” here refers to the “National Public Network Monitoring System” GFW (The Great FireWall of China), also known as the China National Firewall. “Circumventing the wall” refers to circumventing national network censorship through Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology, breaking through IP blocking, content filtering, domain name hijacking, traffic restrictions, etc., and illegally accessing foreign websites prohibited by the state.
Is “circumventing the wall” illegal?
Picture
This is definitely an illegal and disciplinary behavior!
Article 6 of the “Interim Provisions on the Management of International Networking of Computer Information Networks”: Computer information networks that directly connect to the international network must use the international exit and entrance channels provided by the national public telecommunications network. No unit or individual may independently establish or use other channels for international networking.
Universities in different provinces and cities have also issued relevant notices, such as the National University of Defense Technology issuing “This ‘Wall’ Cannot Be Circumvented! Do Not Break the Law” and Jilin University of Finance and Economics issuing “Regulations on Students’ Violation of Using Circumventing the Wall Software”.
It can be seen that China clearly prohibits individual “circumventing the wall” behavior!
How do universities govern “circumventing the wall”?
In order to provide a healthy and safe internet environment for all teachers and students, Teacher Xiao An chose to deploy Anbotong’s internet behavior management after multiple comparisons and product tests to manage and trace students’ “circumventing the wall” behavior. So, what outstanding advantages does this product have?
Advantage 1: High equipment performance and simple deployment
Whether it is using a bypass deployment, transparent bridge, or series connection, its deployment method is very flexible and has little impact on the original network. In addition, there are 60G bandwidth 2U commercial equipment and 20G bandwidth 100% domestically produced equipment, which are stable and durable, and are simply tailor-made for universities.
Advantage 2: Advanced proxy software identification capabilities
Built-in 116 types of circumvention proxy software, such as the common Shadowrocket, Clash, Freegate, etc. With the help of machine learning and JA4 fingerprints, through the internal construction of a “proxy software self-learning” model, the traffic characteristics are behavioralized, which can accurately identify proxy software traffic and proxy protocols, achieve precise blocking, and show no mercy.
Advantage 3: Various authentication methods to meet the real-name requirements of different customers
Built-in 18 authentication methods and 9 third-party authentication platform docking methods, whether it is the commonly used Shenlan and City Hotspot in universities, or the self-deployed Portal server, can achieve fool-proof configuration and easy docking. Through circumvention IP reverse tracing and real-name identification, accurate positioning, and accurate “arrest”.
Advantage 4: Detailed and comprehensive reports, independent interface display
For students’ circumvention behavior, reports can be generated with custom time, which can not only view the trend of circumvention, but also view the application, user distribution, and ranking, recording the entire circumvention behavior and assisting teachers in completing performance reports.
How to deploy “anti-circumvention” equipment?
Through serial deployment, it is connected to the school’s authentication platform to achieve the effect of students’ real-name internet access. At the same time, with the help of machine learning, it detects proxy traffic in real-time and directly blocks it, so that proxy traffic does not leave the school, and legal penalties are not involved.
What are the university cases?
Five universities in Jiangxi: The product stood out with its accurate proxy identification capabilities and rich proxy feature library, and successfully won the bid, involving 40G bandwidth and 60G bandwidth equipment.
And during the test in a university in Jiangxi, the network supervision office reported that there was circumvention behavior. Anbotong’s technical staff closely cooperated with the teachers of the Information Office to check the circumvention logs and NAT logs on the internet behavior management equipment, and accurately locked the suspected illegal students. Subsequently, proxy software and access traces of illegal forums were found in their personal computers. This efficient cooperation and accurate investigation won high praise from the teachers of the Information Office for our company’s equipment and services, which not only consolidated the foundation of cooperation between the two parties, but also smoothly promoted the bidding and successful acceptance of the project.
A certain education network in Suzhou: The hardware supports 100% domestic production, and the product successfully won the bid for 20G bandwidth domestic equipment with its accurate blocking and rapid development and response to proxy software.
In addition to “circumventing the wall”, Anbotong’s internet behavior management can also deeply identify, manage, and audit more than 7,000 types of IM chat software, P2P download software, stock trading software, online game applications, streaming media online video, and other common applications, and has powerful bandwidth management characteristics, combined with refined management of network application behavior, clear and easy-to-manage logs, and other functions, to help universities and enterprises achieve visual control and security.
Anbotong has been deeply involved in the field of network security visualization for more than ten years, and is committed to creating a new experience of network security business for users. It now has more than 160 strategic partners, more than 100,000 enterprise-level customers, and its products have been successfully applied in government, finance, operators, education, energy, military industry, and other industries. In the future, we will continue to use our core technology of independent innovation to actively empower and escort the digital transformation and reform of thousands of industries, and contribute to building a more secure, stable, and prosperous digital world.
