The local computer shop dude in Tehran I'm told sets up normal
everyday people with a VPN.

Tbh, I over stated geeks. They were just er.. Mac users. They don't
qualify, do they? :)

I still think Tor's use is overstated. A better approach I'd say if
people are keen on helping Iran is give them some decent satellite
Internet coverage.
Because in Iran, you can watch BBC news without too much difficulty
over satellite. Also you can pick up the BBC World Service on
shortwave. Honestly getting news via satellite TV and radio is easier
than messing around with a sluggish VPN.
