And if you're sooooooooooooooo desperate, I might as well tell you how.Well, China has gone all the way this time, they've also blocked access to the popular Tor Project (proxy browser). For those of you who can download the latest version of it, that's all you need. They've got a portable version that allows you to use your Firefox browser without having to install anything so yeah, that's the one I've decided to use.You can access any site with the browser incl. hi5.com and anything else that's blocked.WARNING:If you want to use this method to access Youtube videos, you will keep getting the common 'enable javascript to watch video' message you get when you use the regular proxy sites.The workaround is:- Find the green \"
tor connected\"
message on the lower right-hand corner of your browser. Right-click and select \"
Preferences...\"
- Under the 'Security Settings' tab, you will have to un-select \"
Disable plugiins during Tor usage (crucial)\"
You should be able to watch Youtube after this.If you're not going to use Youtube specifically, I suggest you keep that option selected (default).Disadvantage:- Due to the fact that you're on a proxy browser, if you're on an e.g. German IP sites like Google and Youtube will direct you to the local sites. But you will be able to click \"
English\"
on these sites so I guess it's not too bad.- It's slower. That's a no-brainer. It helps a lot if you open only one window and one tab, and if that's what you do, it'll work faster than your average proxy site.Alternative Download Mirror HereAttached Thumbnails  __________________\"

But China has blocked access to this site as well, so here is the alternative download location: Click Here to Download Tor2 - I'm using the \"
Zero Install Bundle for Windows\"
, if you don't want to install anything, then this bundle is for you.3 - Download the bundle to your desktop or anywhere else on your C: Drive. Unzip it, and open the folder.4 - You will find an onion icon amongst other files. At this point, if you have Firefox open, then you'll have to close it.5 - After closing your Firefox browser, double-click on the onion icon to 'Start Tor Browser'. Firefox will automatically open, and you will be able to access blocked sites.Continue reading if you're using this method to watch Youtube videos.6 - On the lower right-hand side of your browser, you should find \"
Tor Enabled\"
in green. Right-click on this, and select \"
Preferences...\"
7 - Click on the \"
Security Settings\"
tab, and you will see a list of options. By default, the first option on the list \"
Disable plugins during Tor usage (crucial)\"
has been enabled/selected. You will have to un-select this if you want to watch Youtube videos.8 - Click \"
Ok\"
after un-selecting this option. You should be able to watch Youtube videos now, like I did this morning.__________________\"

Great Firewall of China\"
and I'm happy to admit that I'm satisfied with the results. Granted there are a few pros and cons, one can't expect too much. This is definitely not a perfect solution but it is a solution nevertheless!Pros:- Access sites (e.g. YouTube, Hi5 etc) - No problems with Javascript etc.- No ads- other benefits of using an Anonymous proxyCons: - Internet speed is compromised- Pidgin application pops up all the timeAs a whole, I would recommend it. You only have to close all browsers (namely Firefox!) and start the Tor Browser if you want to use Tor. If not then you can just double click on the browser icon you wish to use.

Wherever it is you extracted your Tor folder in the first place, find it and open it.2. There is a \"
Data\"
folder, open it.3. In the \"
Data\"
folder, there's a \"
Vidalia\"
folder. Open it.4. You will see a \"
vidalia.conf\"
file. Open it with Notepad.5. Delete the \"
IMExecutable=PidginPortable\\PidginPortable.exe\"
line (about 3rd from the top).*If you don't want the Firefox browser to launch when you double-click on Tor;6. Delete the: \"
BrowserExecutable=FirefoxPortable\\FirefoxPortable.exe\"
line as well.But Thanks again Sabz!Last edited by Divvybaby; 04-04-2009 at 01:52 AM.      INCLUDEPICTURE \"
