Q: Can anyone else access Youtube without a VPN?
Since an hour Google, Youtube, and other services of Google are accessible to me without a VPN, is it nationwide or only in Guangzhou (or only my district maybe)?
So you want everyone who has found a crack in the wall to come on here and tell you so they who must be obeyed can come along and patch it up. don't hold your breath.
Sh*t yeah, why, how is it working? In Shenzhen, I just tried Youtube, it worked without a VPN.. This is great, I feel like I'm in Hong Kong
Stiggs:
Looks like you're back on the mainland. How was Hong Kong? Nice?
ironman510:
yeah some things are working great still some things are not working anymore.but it was a great feeling while it lasted
A glitch in the matrix, I knew it was too good to be true. 
Stiggs:
Nah.. I think the wall was just down temporarily while they made it even more restrictive.
I made a trip to the cave bar to check it out.
wow.... The things I do in the name of scientific research.
I dont know about youtube but yes the chinese websites were being auto translated by my chrome...
It happens occasionally on my laptop..my homepage is still of old times...google
sometimes when I start chrome google site does load..other times it doesn't
I have a continuously updated article that answers this question: The Best VPNs To Use In China 2014. I also provide tips for connecting there, because it can be difficult to get things to work consistently.
This kind of things happen times to times, I remember being able to use Youtube without any special access like a VPN, once, last year. Glitch in the Great Firewall, nothing else.
I randomly tried getting on Facebook and Youtube over the years, out of curiosity/boredom.
What usually happens is that the website might open once, or be accessible for a very, very short amount of time, then be unavailable again.
China's firewall is as reliable as any other local product...
The great firewall of China has blocked thousands of websites including Facebook, Youtube, twitter etc.. its a nationwide restrictions and people using proxies and VPNs to bypass the restrictions in China. VPN provide total anonymity by assigning a unique IP from different country.
