How to access facebook, youtube, and twitter from China

Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter had been blocked in China for quite sometimes now. For these who needs to be on their social network at least once again, there are two ways to unblock these sites.

Method 1: VPN
You can get a VPN service. The advantage of VPN service is your entire computer can tunnel through the “Great Wall of China”. The down side is that most free VPN services are risky and unreliable. So you should be extremely careful when choosing a VPN service provider.

Method 2: Proxy
The other method is to using a Proxy tool. The advantage is that some browsers allow you to choose when to use a the proxy tool. The downside is that Proxy tools are really slow.

The proxy tool I have been using for times is called FreeU. To use the proxy all I have to do is double click on the program and it will do the rest for you.
