THE GREAT (FIRE)WALL OF CHINA

10/5/2015

Here's the deal.  One may not use blogspot or wordpress or weebly (or most blogging websites) in China.  The Government deems them too politically combustible.  Apparently they think that google.com, gmail, youtube, flicker, facebook etc etc will warp the minds of the masses as well.

Here's a list of blocked websites.

Here's a link to be really sure.

Here's the solution to all your problems.  Bless the good folk at Ultrasurf.

UPDATE:  Ultrasurf is down.  Guess there's no free lunch.  Try one of these.  I used the first one.  It's no longer free, but hey, it works!

How does it work?

It's essentially a free VPN service which masks your surfing data and allows you to get around The Golden Shield.

Install, double click on the icon on your desktop and you're ready to rock.

No malware, bloatware or nasty pop-ups.

Thanks Nik and Donald. I hope to update regularly, but internet in China and parts of the 'Stans and Middle East is always going to be a problem. Will try my best!
