Freedur.com is faster and so much easier to use then the other crappy web based ones. All my favorite sites youtube, gmail, facebook open correctly using freedur. I use it also at work – they have a portable version so you don’t need to insall anything. Just put it on your USB stick.</p> Freedur.com – cool proxy site to bypass China Firewall.
