China blocking web sites...

Weird that you can access FR.

[Technocrat]

Perhaps it would be advantageous for an American Chinese person to set up a proxy web surfer, where actual requests for information are encoded by a special browser (used in China) and decoded at the destination site, then passed to the net, then passed back encoded again. One could use a set of thousands of IP addresses, constantly changing, and in-country list distribution with altered JPGs. The one good thing about bureaucracies is that they are slow and stuupid when compared to rebel engineers :)

Move to Taiwan or Japan.

Sorry, that's the best I can do.

No one need question why telemarketing is a $billion business with dummies like you guys falling for this BS - think about it -

HE ALREADY IS PASSED THE FIRE WALL!!!!

I'm sorry, I really am, but I can't help you. The State Department takes offense when private american citizens interfere with the internal workings of a foreign nation. Apparently, they own the franchise, and are VERY protective of it...

Sorry...

According to last night's South Park, all you have to do is wait for the g*ddam*ed Mongolians. They hate Chinese Walls.

Any suggestion that we would send to you about bypassing Chinese gov't firewalls would be intercepted by the government themselves, wouldn't it? Don't think that they are just using blocking, and not intercept and analysis. All they have to do is key on English words like "bypass", "firewall", etc.; look at the traffic and adjust their systems according to the traffic.

Good luck to you and your family.

This could be a deliberate fake by the Chinese government to discover and destroy alternatives for Internet access. Who is sending this message? Chinese agents definitely monitor this site.

I'm faced with the same problem. My experience is that no two ISPs filter exactly the same sites. For example, I can get FreeRepublic at work but not at home. So you might want to experiment with using different ISPs (try 163, 169, and some of the other dial-up ones.) Since they're billed to your phone, you don't need an account. If one doesn't let you get the sites you want, just use a different one next time.

Also, try to see if there are any mirrors for the sites you want to use. For example, when Google got blocked, I almost had a heart attack. My job involves checking facts on the web, and without Google, I'd be screwed. Luckily with a little work, I came across a few mirror sights that let you run Google searches.

If you need anything more specific, I might be able to help. Good luck!

Do People in Hong Kong Have the same problem ?

Hey Comarade Hu -- this is what you defend all day here at Free Republic.

I think you are nuts and don't believe anything you say anyhow.
