New Tools Beat the Great Firewall of China
In recent months, quite a few new tools become available for internet users to beat the Great Firewall of China. While most of them are based on the traditional squid proxy server, some begin to take advantage of the open source VPN technology in order to offer compatibility with popular instant message and VOIP applications. If you can read Chinese, qxbbs is the most active user support community for these tools. (This website is blocked in China.)
So here is an incomplete list of tools that beat the Great Firewall of China.
