Unblock Facebook in China on iPad and iPhone

unblock ipad and iphone in chinaMany users are using internet on their iPads and iPhones and are very comfortable with using these mobile devices. These two devices are very handy because people can use them anywhere and anytime with reasonable ease. These devices are capable of streaming high quality videos, online gaming and allow you to use different applications on them. The problem is that it's difficult to unblock Facebook in China on iPad and iPhone.

Facebook on iPad and iPhone:

Facebook is the most popular social networking website and it is used by millions of users all over the world, including China. It provides you with the ability to share your current status (of anything – dating, work, school, and of course irrelevant info), favorite videos, memorable pictures and much more (very often, TOO much:). It allows online chatting with friends and for many people is starting to replace old ways of communicating on the internet – ie email and blogs.

Everybody who uses Facebook can tell that it has so many things which can keep a person busy endlessly. Facebook applications are compatible with iPhones and iPads – These devices even come with inbuilt Facebook applications. You can enjoy Facebook on your iPhone and iPad at home, on your coffee break, waiting for the bus, standing in line at the cinema, and anywhere you take you phone really…unless you are in China.

If you are in China, you can’t use your iPad and iPhone to get on Facebook because China has blocked Facebook. Nobody is allowed to access Facebook in China on iPad or iPhone, Mac or Windows, Android or Llinux – anything at all. China has very strict internet censorship policies and they are creating barriers for their people living in China to access information from outside.

They are blocking many websites which they consider a national threat or are just not suitable to be accessed because of the "unhealthy" content. They have build the infamous "Great Firewall", or GFW, for stopping people from browsing websites like Facebook, Youtube, Blogspot, Wikipedia, as well as BBC and other foreign news sites, and they are doing it on a regular basis. Therefore, your iPhones and iPads are unable to reach these websites as well.

…But wait, there's more…

If you are suffering from the problem of inaccessibility of Facebook on your iPhone and iPad then here is good news for you. Now, you can unblock Facebook in China on iPad and iPhone. It is not very difficult. You need a web based proxy.

You may have heard that both proxies and VPNs can unblock sites in China. This is true, but not entirely.  VPNs can unblock sites on your laptop and desktop – they use SSL/OpenVPN which is the most secure form of VPN protocol available.  You can still use it to unblock Facebook and other banned sites in China, as long as you can install it.  The problem is that PPTP and L2TP versions of the VPN, the ones which can be installed on iPhone and iPad (and Android for that matter) are blocked.

You cannot unblock Facebook in China on iPhone and iPad with a VPN because PPTP and L2TP VPN protocols are blocked.

This is because there is no installation necessary.  The secure proxy browser is accessible from a secure link provided to you by the proxy service.  This means that you can access the link as long as you can browse the internet. It then secures your browser, redirects your traffic to the proxy server outside of China, and you can unblock sites by typing the URL into the secure proxy browser.

Securitales is a web based proxy which can unblock Facebook in China on iPad and iPhone

I have used Securitales and can honestly say it might be the most important thing I have ever purchased on the internet.

I know, I just hit a sore spot with some of you. Yes, it is a paid service. What did you expect for something so great? It's true, there are some free proxies available in China, but here the thing – they are terrible.

Here are some of the troubles you're bound to run into with free proxies

  1. Limited Bandwidth will slow down your connection speed, making downloading files and streaming video almost impossible
  2. Advertisements and pop-up ads are so annoying. How else did you think they kept the site up? With kindness? Yeah, right.
  3. There's probably a paid version they want you to buy anyway.
  4. Free proxies get a high amount of traffic (world wide) and are going to attract attention of the Chinese government. How long will it be before they get blocked?

Securitales is clearly the best option to unblock Facebook in China on iPad and iPhone.  It's only $6 a month, there's a FREE trial, and a 30 day money back guarantee.  You really can't ask for much more.
