Hi, I haven’t used Witopia but have tried a few different ones. FB and some other sites are still blocked usually because of DNS Poisoning. See this doc from my provider below. You don’t have to use their service to apply the steps below.

@Bill, Ryan: I use Witopia but yes, FB still seems blocked (how to they do THAT???). You mention “with witopia dns servers set manually” – well, how do I do that…?

@Charles: I don’t really understand what you’re asking by “here in China”. If you’re looking to purchase a packaged product from a shop here in China called “personalVPN”, then no, you can’t.

A VPN is a service you register for and pay a yearly subscription fee. You need to download a bit of software after registering to connect to the service, but you’re paying for a service, not a product.

To do so, scroll up to the bottom of the right-hand sidebar on this page and you’ll see a big square ad that starts “sick of not being able to access any Web site, any time?” — that will lead you to WiTopia’s site (and you’ll be supporting Lost Laowai at no extra cost).

From there it’s as simple as picking the package you want (SSL) and paying via your regular litany of online methods (credit card, paypal, etc.).
