Title: Getting to Facebook and other sites
Post by: Aussie Mike on November 05, 2010, 01:57:41 pm

FaceBook
I got fed up with trying to access Facebook through free proxies so I signed up with Astrill VPN (https://www.astrill.com/a77871b63).

@ Mike. I think there are other free proxies that requires no signing up, I have been using this software for more than a year now , just download the software and there

you go. You can access anything.  If anyone is interested it will be sent directly to your email.

I've used many free proxies but they tend to be slow or stop altogether so I've decided to bite the bullet and buy access.  It's been working well, quicker than i expected for sure.  It didn't work for me on the first try so went to on-line support. I only had to un-install it, clear cookies on the browser then re-install. it worked.  great response from their support.

I'm very happy with it.

All sites seem to be faster now, maybe it's my imagination but maybe it's a fact as it's not going through Chinese censoring.

Hey Mike and the others, whats the update on VPN in China / Hefei ?
For me and my family I also of course would like to have free internet with all the nice sites we have here in Germany.

So, any news would be great.
I've checked that Astrill VPN Info and i'm going to try it when I start here in Oct.
It also says that it works for Iphone...any information on that ?
