I tried many ways to break the insane GFW. Finally, I found a best solution - HotSpot Shield. here is the link: http://www.hotspotshield.com/ Try it, i think it is much better then web proxy. I hope this can help you. I have the same problem when I first came to China.

I think the new blocking level of GFW is from keywords. Reasons ? I don't speak of politics but I unfortunatelly love landscapes of Sichuan and people there. So they might have take the fact of mentioning Sichuan as offensive ... (Oh poor my.I also mentionned one year ago I could not go to TB for visa reasons .) So I can say that the GFW can block only your domain even when you are hosted on Dreamhost.

Flickr is blocked, wordpress is blocked, and for some reasons, my own domains don't work for them either... I'm thinking to get a blog service that is hosted in China... Truth will come to light sooner or later, but apparently Chinese authorities have succeed their goal. i live in the US, and it’s hard to share things with my friends in China.

My solution was to leave wordpress.com and use a self-hosted version of Wordpress. A high-tech friend did this for me, but blog still not as good as it was (Many broken links I have not bothered to repair). Suggest you find such a friend or hire someone. Dreamhost is a common place to host that is not blocked by China. Please do shoot me an email to the solution you find or - better yet - post your solution here. It could help others!

Anyway, it's more accessible than typepad, blogspot, squarespace, and a few others. Wordpress is slow as hell to load most days, and sometimes it's blocked, but I've been able to access and update it daily -- usually in the evenings. The stuff that's blocked here is so random and often regionally applied. Some cities have access to blogspot at times, others don't. Some can see wikipedia at times, others can't. I imagine we'll experience a full flowering of access beginning spring 2008, though the faucets may get shut off again this time next year after Olympic fever is cured.
