Anonymity software

[AmirM]

Since I live in Iran,we got problems accessing sites like Facebook.
Before I move to Ubuntu I was using Windiws XP and there was a lot of Anonymity softwares and so called anti-filters like Ultra surf and freegate.after using ubuntu my ONLY tool was TOR with firefox(foxy proxy add-on).it's VERY slow,is makes me mad,and I can't use it with chrome that I installed lately.
the question is:what software(s) I can find for the problem?

I don't know about a software solution, but you may want to try a vpn service, such as http://www.swissvpn.net/.
It's a payed service, but you can test it for free, and there are instructions in the FAQ, on how to set things up in Ubuntu.

TOR definitely does have limitations. If that won't work for you you'll need to hunt around for a solution.

You might be able to get away with an SSL proxy located somewhere else. You might even find a free one.

Or if a few euros a month isn't a problem there are lots of companies that will rent you a shell on a machine somewhere in Europe. Most people use them for IRC bots, but there's nothing to stop you from using them for a proxy server really (other than possibly a monthly bandwidth cap).

The problem is we cant transfer money to any banks outside.
Have you heard about sanctions?!

Unfortunately in my country celebrity gossip tends to pre-empt actual news so I wasn't aware of the full extent of the sanctions.

Maybe one of these services will work for you:

There are free alternatives to payed vpn services, http://itshidden.com, for example. It will probably suffice for internet browsing.

Amir, you might want to repost your request in the security subsection of the forum. Hopefully, there is a software solution, similar to that in Windows.
