http://www.thefreevpn is a great service and works great in China, most free servers are USA based and there even specific ones to use for Hulu. Works great for Facebook and YouTube.

My hotspotshield has been down for a couple of months now. I’ve been looking for another alternative.

hey guys! thanks for the advice but now none of those links you gave us are working.
the government’s great firewall is better and better (for them of coars!) i hope oneday a verry good computer crack can make the strongest vpn in the world and just give it for free for the sake of the wolrd!
and all those stupid chinese will look damn stupid as usual and loose the face as usual and they will think they didnt loose the face because they act like so wich the rest of the whole entire galaxy dont believe and know they they loose the face even if they dont think! OH I FORGET SOMETHING! “”as usual”"!!!!

The stupid GFW!! I’ve tried many VPNs and most of them are done now. I’m using Freedur now, it is fast and the Youtube videos stream super fast. Like it.

I just wrote a fairly comprehensive article about the so-called Great Firewall and also describes in details the various workarounds, including my recommendations for a very solid VPN system that allows one to even watch Hulu or other geographically restricted sites. If anything, this should clear up questions of just how China’s restrictions work and the legal ways around it. There’s a link as well to my VPN provider (came recommended by some Embassy and corporate contacts in Beijing.) It’s unmetered, very fast and has ten servers across the world including the UK, US, Canada, Japan which allows one to view content that is restricted to those areas as well as keeping your online footprint concealed.

I freaked when my friend’s first post in a month was about China banning facebook. I’m on my way over and would miss everyone in California even worse without some kind of connection. Appreciate the tips.
