You're in Syria? Personally, I'd have to assume that if the Powes That Be are censoring access to sites like yahoo and hotmail, they will also be watching traffic heading to public proxy servers pretty darn closely. If you don't care about the risk of being closely scrutinized by the Secret Police Of The Powers That Be, you could check out http://www.publicproxyservers.com for information on anonymous proxying.
