Hello guys, I am very depressed. I live in China mainland, each time when I try to login to Bitcoin client(I use portable Electrum most) I must seek for a proxy or VPN. Without a proxy or vpn, the client can't hardly connect to the network. Sometimes, I cannot even access Bitcointalk and Blockchain freely without using a proxy or vpn, and yes, at the moment, I am using a vpn browsing Bitcointalk and starting this topic.
Have you ever travel to China? We get no access to Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and many many many other websites that are hosted abroad.
Can you use Bitcoin freely and access Bitcointalk and Blockchain freely without using a proxy/VPN in your country?
Sorry to hear this. We live in the 21st century and we should have freedom to choose which sites are we visiting or not!
I hope things will change for better in China and that these restrictions will be removed.
Until then, all you can do my friend, is use proxy, VPN or TOR. Thanks God these options exist also, so at least you have an alternative. I guess no government will ever be able to stop the technology!
