There is an iOS app Facebook Anywhere which lets you access Facebook in China. It does not need any setup like you would if using a VPN service, but it does require that you log in from outside of China. So it's good for people traveling to China for a short time but is not an ideal solution for people who live in China. The app link is: https://iTunes.apple.com/us/app/fbanywhere/id571420050?mt=8.
Great Firewall (internet censorship system of Chinese gov) use DNS hijacking, IP blocking and keyword IDS (Intrusion Detect System) to prevent you accessing facebook, twitter, YouTube and more.
1. DNS hijacking : the DNS nameserver controlled by Chinese gov will give you an incorrect IP of one website, and with DNS cache it will poison all the internet.
2. IP blocking : some server IP (twitter for example) are totally blocked, there is no way but to use proxy to access to it.
3. keyword IDS : This is the most advanced part of GFW which is developed by Cisco, In the blacklist there are many sensitive keywords, if one some sensitive keywords are detected, the TCP/IP connection will be reset by GFW, and your browser will give you "The connection was reset" message.
You can use free proxy such as tor, freegate, wu jie to unblock facebook.
Also, you can use VPN to establish encrypted connection to unblock these sites, and prevent the censors from watching you.
At the beginning of 2010 After Google Changed their censorship policy, The Chinese authorities had blocked Google to all Chinese internet users.
As of now, there are a few solutions that can help you access Google from China.
1. Use web based services such as securitales.com
2. Use static proxy servers: You will have to know a little bit about your computer in order to configure that but this is quite easy to do.
3. Use Secure Tunnelling services, that allow you to connect your computer to an American IP address and communicate as if you were in America.
First, you should know, Facebook is blocked in China for a reason. The Chinese authorities believe that information should be controlled and censored, and this of course in not possible in Facebook.
Now, in order to access Facebook in China, despite this fact you will need to find a technical solution such as VPN or Proxy.
Proxy:
The most important thing to know when you choose a Proxy is that this Proxy must use https. DO NOT use proxy servers that use http.
Good options for this are Securitales and Proxifywho both use https.
The second thing about using a proxy is that you need to choose a proxy that does not require any installation. Proxy servers that require installations are usually less reliable, as they may include software components that are not really required for the operation of the proxy. (Remember, all you needed is to access Facebook from China, right?)
The biggest advantage of this kind of solution is that it does not require any installation on since that, it works on any computer, browser, phone or tablet.
VPN:
The other popular solution is a vpn (stands for virtual private network). This solution is in many cases better to use if you wish to watch TV episodes and websites such as Hulu or Netflix. The only problem with this is that you need to install a software on your computer called VPN client. The biggest player in this niche is HotSpotShield which is (at this moment) absolutely free.
TOR:
The last option that can help you get Facebook in China is TOR. TOR is a P2P open source software that was developed to help users in various countries to access the internet.
This option requires a little more technical knowledge than other options but if you can make it work, it works really well.
The Chinese computer does not let you go on Facebook (Sorry I don't know the reason why) TOO BAD!!!
