Can anyone recommend a proxy? Need access to facebook while in Asia :)

[Milkshake]

Hello from Saigon

Seems facebook isn't working out here and I quite like keeping in touch with friends and family - so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good proxy?

I did a google search and there's a few, but I wanted one that comes freddy recommended

Can anyone help me out?

Boo gentlemen (and ladies), boo! Come on, there must be some suggestions?

Ive never had any trouble with daveproxy but not sure if its available in asia

 

[DaGaffer]

Free or paid? I use bananavpn as a paid service and its very good.

Try Hotspot Shield it's free

Gotta say I wouldn't advise using a free proxy.

Pop on IRC and ask Phazey?

Yeah, that's kind of my thinking too. Meh, it's 6 weeks - maybe I'll just man up and not bother with FB.

You'll be sad to know that FH is not listed as a bad site, I think you guys are going to have to try harder

Thanks for the suggestions though!

We use Hide My Ass at work but it struggles with Facebook for some reason.........not sure why I even posted

Uh, hmm.

Welcome to Facebook doesn't work, but the developer version Welcome to Facebook does work.

Are Vietnam that *stupid* that they've not wildcarded sub-domains?

Fixes my problem though

try the free proxy in igoogle?

If not, I agree that hotspot shield works well.

Alot of students where I work run an app called ultrasurf which can be run from a usb key which might work well?

Just be careful as you may be breaking the law over there and there's always some unlucky bugger caught and hauled over the coals for what we consider to be a minor offence here...

Probably yes but since the government just told the isp's to block Welcome to Facebook. They have just followed the letter of the law and not done extra. Which is a very Vietnamese thing to do, especially ooop north
