It's been a long time since I blogged anything in Chinese -- or English, for that matter -- but I'll probably get back to it at some point. Thanks, May.

That's how I have come here. Your blog in Chinese has given me fresh views and fresh feelings for so many Chinese characters. Please please write more in Chinese! Definitely enjoyable. maybe one day you should be awarded the "Modern Chinese Special constribution" award. Best, M I absolutely enjoy your Chinese blog entries! That’s how I have come here.

They try it on from time to time. Switching to one of the advanced types of connection (using tun/tap) ought to get round that. Either to the LA or the SF gateway.

Usually it will work for the first few minutes, then the firewall seems to somehow overtake my VPN. Any thoughts/explanations?

I think it has something to do with the type of VPN your using, the one I had been using I guess was the cheaper option and was supposidly completely blocked in China even though it had been working for me. Right now I'm using Freedur (won a free 6 months) and it runs on proxy and vpn, the proxy is extremely fast, but I've been unable to get the VPN working.

I'm just back in one of the affected areas now, and changing my DNS to Google's public DNS option fixed it. It's odd, though; I've got my VPN client set up (as far as I can tell, at least) to send DNS requests through Witopia's servers, but for whatever reason that doesn't seem to be working here. Anyway, manually changing my DNS settings worked a treat. Thanks! Thanks for the suggestions, all.
