tai4ji2x Posted July 29, 2009 at 06:39 AM Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 at 06:39 AM anyone else using witopia having trouble with facebook and twitter for the first 3 or 4 minutes (sometimes as much as 10 min)? most other sites which are blocked, such as blogspot, wordpress and xanga, do just fine immediately upon connecting to the VPN any insight? anyone?

tai4ji2x Posted July 29, 2009 at 01:42 PM Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 at 01:42 PM muyongshi: I didn't have "set nameserver" box selected and now, I'm fine just so long as I don't stay on for long periods of time is this witopia? where is this setting? ...and what happens when you're on for long periods?

muyongshi Posted July 29, 2009 at 01:55 PM Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 at 01:55 PM Are you using the mac or windows version? Mac it's under the tunnelblick- details thing. Windows, I can't remember. If I stay on for a long period it just tends to lag down a bit. I think they are choking the bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted July 29, 2009 at 02:06 PM Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 at 02:06 PM I've been using it for quick looks at Facebook and Twitter, not having any problems. I even get decent P2P download speeds, although for the sake of good manners I try to remember to turn those off when the VPN is on. Witopia support is very good - won't do any harm to drop them a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muyongshi Posted August 3, 2009 at 03:10 PM Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 at 03:10 PM It's back! I literally witnessed it's unblocking. I use Adium for a chat client and it just connected to facebook all of the sudden. It seems to be working for me. We'll see how long for though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liuzhou Posted August 6, 2009 at 08:05 AM Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 at 08:05 AM (edited) i still can't connect to facebook Try ǝʇɐƃǝǝɹɟ. download, unzip and run. A new IE window will open allowing you into pretty much everything. http://tinyurl.com/noz7gh Sorry. This link no longer works.

muyongshi Posted August 18, 2009 at 01:03 AM Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 at 01:03 AM So, I actually went somewhere without my own computer for once (never happens) and then I was getting frustrated that no computers had skype or chrome so I got the brilliant idea to install them all on my USB drive. then I decided to download the ǝʇɐƃǝǝɹɟ (is the secrecy really necessary?) as well on my usb drive and guess what it works great! Now I have unlimited access to fb wherever I go on something higher than IE 6. I feel so smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao_Phraya Posted September 7, 2009 at 06:53 PM Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 at 06:53 PM Hi guys I'm in Beijing and Tagged.com is blocked. I tried to connect it by freeproxies.org. This works, I can log in, but unfortunatly I can open only the mainpage of tagged with my profile, no "friends" or "messages". Any ideas? Thanks!
