How to access facebook in China?

Postby Kapil » Wed Sep 05, 2012 8:23 am

This is the first time i came to China, but it seems that i can do almost nothing without a vpn.
I don't want to buy one bec i just stay here for two weeks. Would you give me one free account and tell me how to download the vpn software?

why not stay in China for more time.Chinese people are friendly.Almost all the foreigners are annoying for can not access to facebook in China.They have to find a vpn then they can access.I am using flyvpn. there you can get free account.Firstly you must download this program on the offical website.Then you need input the account.You can have the free vpn.I think it will be enough to you for one hour per day.Good experience in China.

Er, great messages... who really look like adverts for flyvpn! :evil: How do we see it? Easy: posting only 1 message with a link (or just a question and then a colleague is posting the link) and never coming back again! :x :evil:

Indeed, posting this question in a topic about accessing Facebook in China is definitely the wrong place... :roll:

If you need to access Facebook in China, you can try using a secure web based proxy service such as Securitales or HideMyAss. There are plenty of other options you can find, but in any case, make sure that the service you choose is working over https and not just http.

I have heard good things about Securitales but I recommend that you check their free trial before you signup, just to make sure that they work in your area. Hidemyass are also very famous, but they do not have a free trial.

Thanks for the advice, abaker.
It seems that all foreigners (and probably many others too) are using proxys to access the Internet when they are located in China. To have a few good addresses to get reliable ones is definitely an asset :-)
Take a few seconds to upload a :arrow: profile photo: it will be nicer and all your messages will have a much greater visibility 8-)
