Unblock Facebook in China

Tunneling Through The Great Firewall

Access FB in China

No Comments »

Why another post on "access FB in China?" Well it seems that the term "Facebook" has been temporarily (or permanently) banned from Google search.  In the past three days I've lost over 400 views on my site.  I went from about 1,000 a day to just over 500 in the span of three days. What a bummer. It could be something else, but I noticed to day that the word Facebook made my Google searches automatically time out and get banned from Google searches.  So now I may have to use the term "access FB in China" or "unblock FB in China", because that seems to not set off any red flags.


Anyway, you can see on the right hand side that I've got some VPN reviews and comparisons there – you can check them out, or read up on the home page about web based proxies VS VPNs

Has China finally banned the word “Facebook”?

No Comments »

After continuous testing today, it seems that for the time being, China has banned the word "Facebook" from Google search.  Search for "Google", "Gmail", and even "access blocked sites" were all able to be searched and sites were able to be accessed. However, anything containing the word "Facebook" got your search automatically timed out, and banned from Google search, even after cookie removal and DNS flush.  Is this a temporary thing or is China pimping up it's Firewall yet again?

I was able to use Yahoo and Bing to search the terms, but a couple searches in a row also got me banned from these search engines.  Again, the "no no" word was "Facebook"

Only time will tell.

StrongVPN Blocked in China…Again

No Comments »

strongVPN in ChinaI haven't been able to connect to the StrongVPN site for the past week.  I'm living in Fujian – I don't know what the rest of the country is like. I contacted StrongVPN and they maintain that "some areas are having connectivity issues", but I'd like to know how you guys are doing. Of course, if you've already got the VPN downloaded, you shouldn't have any problems.  The problem is that the main site is blocked – so you'll find that the links here to the StrongVPN site aren't working.

Of course, we'll see what happens in the weeks to come. 12VPN and Astrill are still online, no problems here.

Last time I wrote and article called "StrongVPN blocked in China" they sent me an email telling me it wasn't.

So I'll leave it as, in Fujian, Longyan, StrongVPN is blocked. As far as other places go, I don't know.

 

Get it? StrongVPN! haha

You can try the StrongVPN link here

or check out 12VPN and Astrill.

Freedur Blocked in China

3 Comments »

For the longest time I was able to access Freedur. I thought that, unlike Witopia, it had survived the block of vpn services on March 16, but I was got word from some people visiting the site that my links to Freedur weren't working.  I checked them today on a few different compters and locations. It seems that Freedur has been blocked in China.  It's hard to tell – there's nothing on the news so far, so it may be that their servers are down for the moment. I'll get back to you on this and if Freedur is truely blocked in China, I'll change the Top Five Vpn's in China right away!

It’s all going to hell…

Just yesterday I thought Strongvpn and 12vpn were doing great because they survived 'THE Block', but as of tonight, march 18 at about eight o'clock I was unable to access either of them. My vpn is still working, so that's good news if you've already go one or are planning to buy one – i.e. if they block your site at least you can still use your vpn to get around. But it's just frustrating to see that China's firewall is winning the battle. I'll give it a bit of time before I go and Change my entire site, but for now, if you run across this blog – Astrill and Purevpn are still up. I'm getting hot and heavy for Astrill – cheap vpns, nice site design, OpenVpn/SSL options, and most of all, accessible. Check em' out before it's too late. Oh and heads up for Mac users – PureVpn only has SSTP for Windows 7 and Vista so go with Astrill. Astrill Vpn Pure Vpn
