To experience internet access in China, you can use “China Channel.”

China Channel is a browser addon for Mozilla Firefox. The current available version is not fully compatible with Firefox versions later than 3.5. But older version users can still make use of the addon.

The addon provides you with a Chinese proxy; this masks your IP address as a Chinese IP address and you get the complete Chinese web surfing experience. A “Go” button is placed on your Firefox toolbar; this button activates the addon and fetches a Chinese IP address. You can browse the web and see which sites are blocked.

Features:

• Experience internet censorship in china
• Very simple to use.
• Fetches a Chinese IP address.
• Lets you browse the internet as a web surfer in China.
• You can see which websites and results are blocked by China’s government.
• Similar tool: WhatBlocked.

Try2StopMe is essentially a web-based proxy service, which means your web traffic is routed through another computer before being sent to you. This can bypass censorship because so far as the corporate or national firewall can tell all you’re doing is browsing Try2StopMe. This, however, is also the services one weakness: it’s useless as soon as the firewall blocks Try2StopMe itself. So be sure to give this one a spin before your employer or government blocks this one.

Not looking to dodge a firewall? Try2StopMe is always a great way to protect your identity online by obscuring your IP address from all sites you visit through it.

Features:

• Web-based proxy service.
• Bypass restrictive corporate or national firewalls.
• Protect your identity.
• Similar sites: AnonyMouse, CTunnel, Prime Proxies and Unblockall.
