A lot of people lately have been trying to find out how to access Facebook in China. Up until recently, it was possible to access Facebook in China as normal, but certain events in the news have meant that certain portions of the Internet have become inaccesible. This is a bad thing for fans of Facebook, but there are are plenty of ways to get around the block and stay in touch with your friends and family on Facebook from China!
- VPN
A VPN lets you access Facebook from a normal internet connection. It’s a little bit of software that you install on your computer and then run after you connect to the internet. It sends all of your internet information through a different computer (located in the US or UK for example)… Try www.witopia.net for more information!
- Proxy
A less elegant option, but just as useful, is to use a web based proxy. There are many of these available, one of the best is ’sneak me’ (www.sneakme.net). You input the web address that you want to access and then click on ‘OK’ and you can go straight to the site you need.
- Business firewall bandwidth
Some businesses buy bandwidth directly from Chinese telecommunications companies, so multinationals for example can have full access to the Internet without any interruption. Lucky guys!
Good luck with getting access to Facebook in China now you have some options!
Sneak me no longer works. It seems every available proxy is blocked right now. I have been trying for days to get onto FB and am having no luck. I am praying that the blocks will be lifted after the 60th Ann, but am doubting it also.
couldnt access FB anymore, they blocking all access. im using ultrasurf and freegate, but now no one is work.. dont understand is that facebook really scare them to death??
well if anyone has any luck please let me know, also i have netflix instant watch in the US, but i can’t use it since it shows i am in china, if the proxy is back up, will i be able to use netflix instant watch and also watch streaming from the web from network station websites?
You can easily access fb in China using anchorfree vpn service. But this can only be doenloaded from abroad. Just ask your friends to download it, which means they have to download a zipped folder first and then download the tool.
Freedur does it for me. I’ve spent months trying to access my accounts on Facebook, Youtube, etc. But these proxy sites are unreliable so I figure spending a bit for quality access might be worth it and so far so good. You get what you pay for I guess, and free stuff can be relatively unreliable.
Hotspotsheild is work, but many of my friends said it’s kind of inturrupting other programs in use. Some said if u like to use this one, use it after chating msn. One more, it’s slow.
They recommend Ultrasurf…..try it!

Don’t worry. you can use MSN or other.Only Facebook is not available in Chinese Mainland. if you go to Hong Kong or Macao,you can open Facebook.I am from China. Have a good trip in China!

how to access FB in china?
i need answer!!!!!!!!!!
Please stop complaining about that , just use a VPN , it is a virtual private network and everything u do transits through an other computer , the data is encrypted so it’s secure .
All the VPNs and proxies cost like 30 dollars a month. and lots of proxies are being blocked too.. I mean i love facebook but i’m not in a desperate need of it i guess.. 2 months in shanghai without fb! let me know people if you find ANYTHING free, i don’t want to pay for accessing facebook.
no FB in China, terrible. I need it desperately.
Been in China for a few years now and going back home soon, look forward to finally be able to use the internet without a VPN. Big problem in China seems that they seem to block more and more VPN services. I used a Swedish VPN and it worked pretty well. I hope that that the Chinese government will bring down the Great Firewall of China someday soon…
Anyone have the latest VPN, etc to access FB in China? I will be in China for quite a while and need access….please advice
i have been living in beijing for 3 years now
me and my friends have found a lot of sites that you can use to access FB youtube
if you have opera as an internet browser (i recommend, it it is very good) there is a widget that you can download called Proxy list that provides you with working internet based proxy sites
they are very good but if you want to post stuff u have to turn off the setting at the top
Phani Kethana – can you name specifically which proxies are for Facebook. None are obvious and I’m in Shanghai. So far NO access to facebook.
