Q: How to open blocked website on Mac OSX?

Hi there, Here in my university my friends are using "FreeU" software to open youtube and facebook easily on Windows computers but I am using Mac OSX and this "FreeU" is not compatible with OSX. Is there any other free software or method available for OSX to open up blocked sites here? Please advice.

 

Operating system: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4

Search for VPNs that work through the website. There are a lot out there for free. You can search on google.

PS. Just don't post the names here, this way they keep on working and not get banned. For example, I would avoid using the word "FreeU"

Actually you are right the Freeu is already blocked now. Ops!

Yes, there is a way..no VPN is needed it is called SSH (tunneling) it has it's pros and cons.
but for YT perfect....Actually I use this instead of VPN.. VPN is good for sensitive information. 
like sharing documents and so on..
Actually you can use this to surf all over the world. but it needs a bit of configuring. 
it works on everything, Unix, Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, Symbian, Palm. dunno about the iPhone
just google for instructions how to go about it 
you can also download SSH Tunnel Manager Smile
here you have a link ..from techie gossip site

You can use Hotspot Shield free VPN on your MAC to access blocked sites. It is available for all devices; windows, mac, iphone and android.

I used to use HotSpot Shield.  Unfortunately it is currently blocked by the government here. Don't waste your money buying the Elite version because it does not work either.

I pay $100 a year for Express VPN. It works great on my Macbook PRO. I can stream a video quick, and smooth just like I'm in America.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
