July 2011 – You'll notice a lot of links that aren't working here on the site. It seems that in recent weeks, The Great Firewall has had some serious updates, and many of the VPNs featured/reviewed are blocked (at least the sites are). This may not be for the entire country, but at least here in Fujian, many have been blocked.
Securitales is a Web Based Service that is not blocked. A web based service is different from a VPN, but can also unblock sites in China. The advantage of a Web based service over a VPN is that you don't have to download anything onto your computer. It works on iPhone, iPad and other smart phones as well as laptop and desktop operating systems like Mac, Windows, and Linux.
The most important thing right now is that it's NOT BLOCKED.

I use 12vpn and despite having tried several other companies over the years, I will continue to use their service. However, in light of keeping up with what exactly is the best vpn in China, and keeping things updated here at Unblock Facebook In China .info, I tried Strongvpn out for a month. Here's my comparison of the two.

$35 / 3 months
Lite 1/6/12 months…..$10/$60/$90
Standard 1/6/12 months…..$15/$90/$155
Delux 1/6/12 months…..$20/$120/$210
Prices go up to…..$180 / 6 months

They've got servers all over the world, thousands of IP addresses to choose from, and well, the support and service that comes with such a popular company.
12vpn may be a smaller and younger company, but they've got a great support team (even though it's not live support. If you run into any problems with you vpn, they are always happy to help.
