The most convenient way to solve this annoying problem is by using Firefox and then using an addon called "Gladder". It was designed by a Chinese for this very purpose. It's so easy to use. Once you get to a site that is blocked, just click on the status bar button and it will automatically use a proxy to unblock. The addon uses a list of proxies that work in China. If for whatever reason one of the proxies doesn't work, you can simply press the "change proxy" button and another proxy will be used from the addons database. No fussing around trying to find proxies that work. Every time you come across the site again, it will automatically unblock it for you (and if for some reason the gov unblocks the site itself, you can always remove the site from the Gladder unblock list). You can download the addon (if you're using Firefox) at:
