Works great for Facebook and YouTube. 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.

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. http://web.me.com/superacidjax/Sparkling_Chaos/Main_Page/Entries/2009/11/27_Getting_around_blocked_websites_(and_protecting_your_personal_info..).html 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.
