I'll be in china for a month visiting family. at the same time, I wish to check my email regularly, communicate with my lady friend(s), and apply for jobs while I'm overseas. are there any proxy services or something that would allow me to check gmail, surf facebook, go on strava (exercise app/website), and look for jobs on company websites?

If you can find a OpenVPN service with IPv6 transport, and your connection in China has IPv6 support, use that.
Otherwise, get multiple VPN services with different protocols, prepare to switch among them. -
From VPN.ac

Standard OpenVPN connection has been working smoothly for me in the last two years from multiple ISPs, but it must be IPv6 transport.
We do use a modified OpenVPN server with an extra obfuscation layer for the office.Last edited: Jan 26, 2016 -
Chinese Firewall, Tricky Trap.
Must push both ends of network together to extricate oneself from trap.
Best to not put oneself in Offense of Chinese Firewall in the first place...
Does it not seem a bad idea to circumvent the intended blocking of foreign sites while a guest of China?
Perhaps they won't like it and single you out for prosecution. It's not so unlikely. Why risk it? -
i suppose the main thing I need is gmail, so I've created a yahoo address (which I believe is unblocked) and have my gmail forwarding to my yahoo. Will this work in China?
other stuff I would like to have access to are university websites, job boards like indeed, company websites. Can I reasonably assume that these will be unblocked?
as for social media, I could use this app called we chat. -

I signed up for VPN.ac myself after reading reviews... I must say, I never expected 75Mbps on an OpenVPN ECC, AES 256-bit VPN! -
I was using purevpn last year when I was back to visit some families. it worked fine.

This comment on the VPN page I shared gives a little breakdown on various services as well and he lives in China.

I am a mandarin translator and I have to conduct a lot of searches on Google.
Yes a VPN is your best choice. I am using LeiSu (previously Pirate Boat) and it's quite fast and reliable. Use its browser plugin module. A standard along app won't work, to my experience.Last edited by a moderator: Mar 30, 2017 -
