Basically what the title says. I'm going to China June 22nd and I really don't want to go there knowing that I'm losing facebook until July 14th. I know a lot of people have already asked this stuff but is there some proxies you guys know about to get around the China Firewall?

Also, anyone know about how to unlock your IPhone while in China too? I know my friend did it but he was already in the ATT plan or something and they did it for free for him.

Thanks so much. Any ideas are much appreciated. :D

THATS AWESOME DUDE! Where are you going to be in China? I'd say just go to your AT&T store and they should be able to do the unlocking for you? I'm not totally sure though. I'm also not that knowledgeable about proxies either -_-. Have fun though!

If you are in school, you can load into your school's VPN and make that work.
Otherwise, cry. Just kidding, facebook works sometimes on the iPhone so always try that.

oh noes you will lose facebook for TWO WEEKS the world is going to implode!!!!1111

instead of sticking your nose on your mobile phone screen to watch unimportant stuff on FB you should enjoy your trip and do stuff, because you might never be able to go there again

If it's an international company, they should be using a VPN anyway. Pray they didn't internally block Facebook.
Avoid those free proxy sites. It's faster to teach a dog English than to load Facebook on these slow proxies..

Why can't you just understand and respect the late Chairman Mao's wishes for a harmonious and revolutionary society? Trying to get around the Great Firewall to bring disharmonious elements into the country and pollute the minds of your comrades? For shame.

Anyways, why are you worried about Facebook being blocked when you should be worrying about Twitch being blocked.

I use hotspot shield to get around firewalls. Works well and it's free.

Also for unlocking your phone, talk to your phone company. They should be able to do it for you. For me, I went to Korea and luckily the people over there were able to do it for me (though it took a while cause they had no idea how). But they recommended that I ask my original phone company next time since it's different for each model.

my dad called them or something. said they could allow it to work but it would cost like 2.50 per minute or something.

thanks for the tips guys :D

Hey hi there.

I'm living here and if you have the money i'll suggest you to get astrill, it works pretty well, veeeery rare downtime, only few hours in the last 4 months i've been using it and they fixed it during the day. They also have a portable vesion that you can use on internet bars with no restart required.

I use it to play dota on US servers, pings goes down from 600 to 170-230 and it becomes very stable, is also very good if you use gmail, soundcloud, facebook, youtube, and many other stuffs, the internet just gets a lot more stable. And hotspot shields never connects, its extremely random.

Gluck and if you pass by Yiwu let me know .
In the beginning there was nothing... and then exploded
