They offer a free VPN service which is a little slow, but fine for day to day use and if you require something more you can upgrade to their paid version.

Unblock-Facebook in China
There are many countries that are locking their users out from accessing facebook, this could be in China and more and more people in china want to have access to internet that is not censored.
Using a VPN service is something that will unblock your internet from your ISP and gives you access to restricted sites.
Choosing a good VPN provider is also not that easy as there are many out there that are slow, unreliable or over priced.
The best VPN one that i have found which is free is proXPN.com
Their system seems to use OPENVPN and will work in places like China, this will unblock your facebook and give you access to government blocked sites within the country.

What is the difference between a Proxy and VPN?
Well to simply put it, you have to type proxy details into the software you’re using and that you want all your internet traffic to go over, so if you were using Skype to do VOIP calls where restricted, you could type in the proxy details into skype and it would push all the traffic over the proxy.
The same rule also applies for web browsers is that you have to enter the proxy details into the browser you’re using for it to start using the traffic over the proxy.
Are Proxy Servers Safe?
Hell NO they are not secure of safe and your data could easily be monitored by the web server or by a 3 party fairly easy, for a 3 party to monitor the proxy log, then it all depend on how the proxy is set up, but everything is possible with these proxy server.
Also, proxy servers are known all over the world and listed as such, they are not that reliable and not the best solution… so what is the best solution you ask? i can simple say a VPN is the best solution.
Are VPN servers safe?
Most VPN services out there are going to be secure as the standard encryption is 128bit to tunnel your whole internet connection to the VPN server.
What a VPN does is elimenate the need to set up each software service, Skype, MSN, ICQ, browsers etc individually, once your connected to a VPN ALL your traffic goes over and there is no other configuration needed to be done.
Long and short of it, a VPN is a much more efficient and effective way to do what a proxy is doing, just much better.
Searching around the internet for a VPN provider can take time and it’s very tedious trying all the different providers to see who is the best, most reliable and of course who you can trust.
There are many VPN providers that are not popping up from places like Eastern Europe and you don’t know what these untrusted / untested sources of providers are like or what and if they even monitor what you’re doing.
Rule 1: Choose a Trusted Reliable Provider
Rule 2: Check where they are registered by doing a whois on their domain name and avoid anything from Eastern Europe, like Russia
Rule 3: Check their support and that English is their first language
Rule 4: Check how long they have been in business, there are many new VPN providers coming out which might have one server and not many servers as they can’t afford the infrastructure to make a good solid and reliable vpn provider.
One of my personal favorites is proXPN for their free VPN services which just works!
These guys also have some great commercials that i found on YouTUBE
Search youtube for more videos on providers.
Post me any links of any FreeVPN providers you find and I will review them.
