Dear friends
after almost a week of silence, here i am back!!
Exactly like last year this time i was in China and i posted this post:
https://steemit.com/steem/@intellihandling/china-the-place-of-restrictions
Now here i am back and as you can see from my post title, i found an even worse situation!!
Yes because last year steemit.com was not blocked, now yes!!
I could only open the steemitwallet.com, all the rest like busy, beta.steemit and steemit are locked!
Of course all research motor like google, yahoo, are locked, only bing it work, but in chinese version of course....
How i managed to come out from this shit and post again?
I do not know why i did not think about it before, but i have in Poland my pc always connected to internet, so i decided to connect to it by teamviewer.
Than i made a research with google and i found a vpn can work in China, so i downloaded it and than using file transfer utility of teamviewer, i got installation file and i managed to start it and now i am able again to see the world without a black cover!
I would like to share with all of you this vpn because is totally free and you can get 10gb of freedom on your pc or phone.

This will help me to get some more gb and for you do not change anything between it and joining directly on the site.
If someone have better experience in China with VPN please comment below and let me know it, because after middle of february i will need to come here again for almost 2 months, so i need to get something more than 10gb per month...
I will make sure to remember you post if I ever need to grab a VPN. It's amazing and sad to think that an entire country of people can't have access to the internet as we see it. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Dear @pifc, they have another internet world based on Wechat, do you know it?
They can do everything with it, is a kind of Whatsapp but for china people.
We feel bad because all our applications are locked, but it seems they do not need them, their daily life is connected with smartphone...
Having the internet via wechat is good, but one that is filtered by the government is not. It's bad enough in the US the level of manipulation that happens with the "news" stations. Can't imagine being in a Country where the political party has control of so many aspects of what you see, are taught, and so forth.
Dear @intellihandling
Welcome back after your short break from steemit. Hope you're well rested :)
Interesting. How do you know? Are you in China right now? What about other frontends like steemleo or steempeak?
ps. I'm not sure if I'm wrong or right, but to my knowledge using VPN in China is kind of illegal as well :)
Also why did you choose windscribe.com ? Is there any particular reason why did you decide to trust this VPN provider over other alternatives? Just curioys.
Upvote on the way,
Yours, Piotr
Dear Piotr, you know when you ahve not possibility to find a better solution, you have to choice the free one...
Now i am back but when i was there, no way to connect to any research engine, only bing was working, but when you wrote VPN in searching place, nothing of useful comes, so only thanks to Teamviewer i managed to connect to my home PC and download the best free VPN, from China even google authenticator do not work, so make payment for me was impossible.
Now i need to find a reliable one which can connect phones and pc, in the third week of february i have to go back there...:(((
Thank you for prompt reply @intellihandling
In my opinion the best VPN not free is ExpressVPN, it is not cheap but i have some collegue using it in China and it work very well.
The best option is you can connect till 5 units on one account, so PC and smartphones will work without any problem
Just applied following your link, is working very well, thank you!

There are some VPN designed for saving data while browsing that has free unlimited bandwidth.
Opera Turbo is a feature built in Opera Mini that acts as an VPN I think.
Samsung Max redirects all Android traffic into a VPN that also compress data, reducing mobile data consumption
I am not sure how they will work at China, but both are free, consider give them a try
I'm honestly no fan of free VPNs they're just as bad as the ISP providers you try to jump around, the collect your data too and profit from it by selling it on. There are a few paid VPN providers you can use that hopefully are true to their word but in your situation I guess you can't be picky.
Crazy that they're still limiting the internet there, it will only serve to hurt them in the long term
Get Opera with free VPN from this link for Windows. I hole Brave Browser will implement VPN one day also.
Dear @ritxi, i already have Opera browser, but in China do not work because it work as hyde the ip address, not to move your ip outside country...:((
All are blocked including partiko and esteem? That is too bad. This is the first time I heard this kind of problem and I wonder what is their purpose for that.
I'm sorry I can't help. I have no knowledge of anything like VPN. Heard it but I don't know how it works.
