For weeks, Google services seems are disturbed so seriously in China. All service. How to get through that So Called GFW technically?


Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). They're useful for a lot of things in addition to getting past firewalls, censorship, and similar. The type of VPN you use can make a difference in some situations. For example, it may not be possible to use particular protocols or ports due to blocking, but good VPN Service Providers allow a vast array of options (i.e. running ssh or openvpn on multiple ports to enable people to connect in non-standard ways). Due to being on a Verizon Wireless EVDO G3 (cellular data network) connection, and Verizon doing on-the-fly recompression of images and other data, I always use a VPN. The company I use is Tunnelr. It's run by some good people who also provide free shell services and are supportive of the OpenBSD project. All their servers run OpenBSD.

If you pick a node that's outside of China, you should be able to access Google services without any trouble, but of course, I have not tested this, so you might want to use their free trial to make sure it will work for you. The support multiple types of VPN's and you're able to access their servers on multiple ports, so there should be some way to by-pass the Great Censorship Wall of China. They are great with support, so if you have questions or need help, just contact them.

Good Luck!
