Can you help my Mac find a way to facebook in China? - Jaclyn - 04-29-2013 09:19 AM
I am living in China and facebook is blocked here. Some of the people I know are able to use a proxy to access facebook, but none of them are Mac users. Every proxy I find isn't for Macs or I don't understand it. Does anybody have any ideas or has anybody else dealt with this? If you do have an idea...walk me through it. Remember, I'm a Mac user. I like things to be simple.

I don't know if web proxies will work, but there are a lot of free ones you can try. Just do a search for "free web proxy".

Try Hotspot Shield!
Works perfectly for me, minus the ads up at the top. Get Adblock Plus (free) for that

I have several friends in China. They use the Personal VPN to unblock web sites. It is very reliable and encrypts your connection out of country so the censors can't see what you are doing. Some of them have been using it for up to 2 years with no issues.
Avoid free proxies, many are run by hackers or governments. They are simple to block. If a proxy is working in China with all of their technology you can probably bet it's run by the government. Since the Chinese government probably employs more hackers than anywhere in the world you can also count on your computer being used for all sorts of spying and hacking once they plant the bot on it through the proxy.
There have also been reports of some of the free services making deals with the Chinese government to allow the service in exchange for providing the user data back to the government.
The 100% reliable and safe approach is the Personal VPN which unblocks everything, encrypts your entire connection for security, and doesn’t get blocked daily.
