This is a major problem for people who’d like to connect to Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, and all the other… crappy … waste of time … hmm… popular websites around. In China, each one for different reasons, was blocked.
There are different ways to solve that problem (…)
- 1. Use a
, which is a website that has a small box for you to insert the address to the site you want to view. You click a button, and you’re done! It’s free, but they often get detected and blocked. Do a google search to find some, maybe adding the name of the country where you want to use it. - 2. Use software like
(browser with special features) , 
(a small software, made for China especially) or 
(a small software too, made for China especially, check the history on Wikipedia). The 2 last ones are « green » software, which means they require no installation, you just download them, create a folder for them, then double-click and it starts working! Creating a folder and putting the program inside is necessary, as it will create setting files after it launches for the first time, and you don’t want those files to get lost. Those 2 programs work automatically with Internet Explorer, but require you configure other browsers, which is fast and simple, unless you are my dear Mom 😉 . The first 2 programs don’t work well these days in China, but the last one,, works great and fast! Well, recently at least! Its actual version is 7.06, don’t get the old versions you find on many western websites… I can’t give you any download link, as these software often update, and as I don’t want my website to be shut down by zealous government employees 😉 . Make your own search in Google, you are smart people, you’ll find it. Or contact me (cf. floating contact form on the left side, or check the « About » section). - 3. Invest a small amount of gold in getting a
account. It works great all the time, and it is what most internet lovers living in China use. Mainly, it’s like the other ones I mentioned, but it’s much much more efficient. Technically, it’s like internet, but through a private network you have to pay to access. Many companies offer that service. One of my friends uses freedur, it works well in China …
