Accessing WSG in Cn

[prettyBoy]

I been reading this site a few times per week for the last 6 months from inside China. Never had a day when I couldn't access it.

The site is not banned, I sometimes have to google (english google site) on worldsexguide and click on the google link, other times I use www.worldsexguide.com/forum. Either way works at different times, don't know why this happens but it does with a lot of sites in china.

I am having no problem using mpnet from my hotel in Shanghai. FaceBook My Space will not connect neither will my Yahoo Mail but they all work if I use my iPod Touch wi-fi to connect. No idea how it's the same hotel wi-fi.

Thats the thing mate...its very unstable.

Maybe thats why they don't have cricket matches in Cn. 11 hours of censoring for an ODI and 55 hours for a test match.

11.1 Bond to Flintoff. 4!
11.2 Bond to Flintoff, 6!! an agricultural sweep for that.
11.3

I'm posting from China right now. I have had no problem viewing the site or forums.

Could be. And I don't think mpnet is the only thing they care about - almost any site I go to for more than a few hours will stop working.

What gets me is how they'll do this no matter who's involved. The Chinese government can invite you to come over as a photojournalist or whatever, give you a visa, give you access to high-level events, but if you go to upload the story to the pressroom from your hotel, you might still get shut down. It's just bizarre.

My theory is that foreigners in 5 star hotels are monitored. Usually what happens is that i can connect to mpnet but after some tries, i can't for the rest of the day.

Is it because the IT guys have seen what im upto?

I think its also picture based....spend too much time on some porn site...and it stops loading.

If i could directly just connect to the Forums by bookmarking them is an idea worth exploring.

...usually work for me when in Cn but they don't keep working - i have to keep changing proxies. And sometimes i just have a crap connection (not uncommon in Cn) and then I can't tell whether I'm being blocked, or my connection just sucks!

I will be hitting Shg later this month so i wanted to share with all you would people doing the same - that mpnet is mysteriously blocked, I copied some info on how to bypass these sites. Below is an article and links to the articles. It has worked for me before...especially using Babelfish or Anonymizers (3rd party sites)

Cheers

Access blocked websites at school or work
We suggest workarounds to bypass internet filters and corporate firewalls to help you unblock access to restricted websites at universities or office

Blocking access to undesirable Web sites has been a common government tactic but China, Iran, Saudi Arabia are believed to extend greater censorship over the net than any other country in the world.

Most of the blocked or blacklisted sites in Saudi Arabia are about sex, religion, women, health, politics and pop culture. They even block access to websites that sell bathing suits. In China, webites containing sexually explicit content are blocked plus sites on sensitive topics such as Tibet, Taiwan, and dissident activity.

Other popular sites that are often blocked in offices, school and workplaces are Google News, Typepad, Orkut, ebay, Blogger blogs, YouTube, Blogger, Facebook, MySpace, Pandora, Bebo, Photobucket, Yahoo! Messenger, AOL AIM, Flickr, last.fm, etc.

There are however always legitimate reasons to bypass the internet filters and visit the blocked websites. The following methods will help you access blocked websites in school, college, office or at home.

Approach 1: There are websites Anonymizer who fetch the blocked site/ page from their servers and display it to you. As far as the service provider is concerned you are viewing a page from Anonymizer and not the blocked site.

Approach 2: To access the blocked Web site. type the IP number instead of the URL in the address bar. But if the ISP software maps the IP address to the web server (reverse DNS lookup), the website will remain blocked.

Approach 3: Use a URL redirection service like ************ or snipurl.com. These domain forward services sometimes work as the address in the the url box remain the redirect url and do not change to the banned site.

Access Google Talk Chat or GMail in Office

Approach 4: Use Google Mobile Search. Google display the normal HTML pages as if you are viewing them on a mobile phone. During the translation, Google removes the javascript content and CSS scripts and breaks a longer page into several smaller pages. Google Mobile

Use Mobile browsers as proxy to open restricted websites

Approach 5: Enter the URL in Google or Yahoo search and then visit the cached copy of the page. To retrieve the page more quickly from Google's cache, click "Cached Text Only" while the browser is loading the page from cache.

Approach 6: You can access blocked or restricted websites by using Google language tools service as a proxy server. Basically, you have Google translate your page from English to English (or whatever language you like). Assuming that Google isn’t blacklisted in your country or school, you should be able to access any site with this method. Google Proxy

Unblock restricted websites that require login

Approach 7: Anonymous Surfing - Browse the internet via a proxy server. A proxy server (or proxies) is a normal computer that hides the identity of computers on its network from the Internet. Which means that only the address of the proxy server is visible to the world and not of those computers that are using it to browse the Internet. Just visit the proxy server website with your Web browser and enter a URL (website address) in the form provided.

Unblock access to Bebo, Myspace, Orkut, Facebook
