Use personal VPN services to access blocked websites from China and other countriesAccording to Wikipedia Internet censorship is control or suppression of the publishing or accessing of information on the Internet. The legal issues are similar to offline censorship. One difference is that national borders are more permeable online: residents of a country that bans certain information can find it on websites hosted outside the country. A government can try to prevent its citizens from viewing these even if it has no control over the websites themselves. Countries that exercise this kind of censorship include Burma, China, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam. Most recently in July 2009, social networking site Facebook (News - Alert) was banned in China. After microblogging service Twitter was already inaccessible during the last few days, Facebook now seems to be the latest victim of Chinas moves related to the recent incidents in its north western province. The recent bans and the blocking of Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and even hickups with Google (News - Alert) products and MSN are a major pain for companies and individuals working in China. Previous blocks of Western Web 2.0 services that were banned in China were sometimes only temporary but this time we are afraid the block will be permanent. How to still access and unblock Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and other blocked websites from China: The only reliable way to access blocked websites like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and many more is by using a professional VPN with anonymous internet surfing. We are even expecting that PPTP will be entirely disabled soon and only available again after individual companies specifically register for it. If you want to get connected to the rest of the world again its the only way - go for it!
