So I'm gonna be in China for a year and the laundry list of old proxies I used to use don't work any more, or barely do. The old free VPN that I used to use has apparently been blocked/doesn't work as well (Hot Spot Shield).
Anyone have any suggestions for a way for me to check my Facebook and Twitter?
You could try One-Click Web Proxy for Chrome. If that doesn't work, I can ask some friends in China which programs they use. I believe there's some kind of TOR-like software made in Hong Kong called 翻牆, but I've never looked into it.
