Are there any free mirror/tunnel sites to access facebook/youtube in China?

Asked by Schroedes13 (3896points) July 16th, 2011

I’m in China and I’ve found some tunnel/mirror sites to get through the GFW, but I’m only here for a couple weeks and would rather try and find a site that is free. Any suggestions?

just search web proxy on google, there are some downloadable programs that should work well.

@johnpowell I tried that link and it worked for about 1 minute and then the GFW kicked in!

@Schroedes13 do you have a Idevice? The facebook app might work.

@XOIIO no I don’t I tried just googling web proxy, but most of them were blocked. One did work for a while, but then when I closed it and tried a few hours later, it was blocked too.

As you have noticed, any free method is temporary at best. Unless you have hacker friends keeping you in the loop with updates on a minute-by-minute basis, you are out of luck. Sorry :(

From what I’ve read, some people are trying to get that same sort of censorship here in the US :(
