This worked for me at least!<br /><br />To Mike, keep up the good work. All of us expats and Viet Kieu that depend on networking sites to keep in touch need this info.<br /><br />BTW, I read in a recent time magazine article that China spends $400 million per year squashing VPN's that allow outside access in China. I can't see VN having that deep of pockets to bother even trying. HSS should work well for years to come. When they block it another will pop up to take its place!!<br /><br />Thanks AllAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3236307741799460845.post-21573972963372082822011-01-07T23:43:01.612+07:002011-01-07T23:43:01.612+07:00Hmm..

Quiet, industrial town, but I love it. <br /><br />Hey, Dave! Awesome! I have friends in China, and HSS is blocked there. People there use other proxy servers to get around the block. It CAN be done.

If you get that message about being outside of the US, you have to shut down your browser and hotspot shield, and then just run hotspot shield again. It happens to me sometimes.

It is a great tool for my business and keeping in touch with friends old and new around the world. Was using lisp4 but could not upload pics and what pathetic and stupid timing from officials doing it around the xmas and new year celebrations when its the most important time for us to share. Im sure you and i could rant and rave all day and night about the authorities of the country we reside in and only hope they give up the battle but like Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon I fear we have a long way to go<br /><br />chúc mừng năm mới<br /><br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3236307741799460845.post-31891893777201845032011-01-03T15:46:25.088+07:002011-01-03T15:46:25.088+07:00yaye Vina!
