    So I'm currently on vacation in China for the next 2 months, and as I'm sure you all know, China is rather uptight about some things, the internet being one of them. I foolishly didn't take care of this before travelling, and so I'm currently trying to look for some kind of way to bypass China's blockage so I can use Google, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. Problem is, some of the VPNs I've been recommended, like GreenVPN, have their websites themselves blocked, so I can't even sign up.

    And so I was wondering if there are any good VPNs that China doesn't have their websites blocked already, or some other way I can access websites without restriction.

    Well, you really should have done the homework before getting on the plane.

    Attachments are for tdna.me's free service. Hit the big green block on tdna.me/free for (dynamic) user name and password. Remove the .zip extensions. This forum has a file type white list.

    Once you have access to the VPN, a few other options are listed on i-vpn.net. Below is the list of services they recommend. I'm not in China atm so I can't test if any of them actually work.
    1. GreenVPN：http://www.gjsq.link/
    2. 旗舰VPN：http://www.qjvpn.com/
    3. NydusVPN：http://www.nydus.info/
    4. 鲨鱼VPN：https://www.shayunet.net/
    5. 豆荚VPN：http://www.podvpn6.com/
    6. 51VPN：https://www.51jsq.org/
    7. 6VPN：http://www.6vpn.com/
    8. 二师兄VPN：http://www.ershixiongvpn2.com/
    Do you read Chinese? GreenVPN does not appear to have an English site.
