Phew..Hectic last few days...
Finally get some breather...
All right here we go....
----------------------------------------
This is original research of the best free anti-block softwares/tools available for the masses today...
Just my opinion...
----------------------------------------
The Chinese govt as you know bans website if it feels like it...NO surprise therefore that the best tools are Chinese...
Currently most anti-censorship tools only offer protection to web traffic, which means a user’s privacy and safety are only protected when he/she visits those specific websites, but other applications with non-web protocols, such as emails, instant messaging, and audio/video streaming, are still subject to censorship.
But I still recommend the below softwares
s
#.GPass
Global Pass | Global Pass
Gpass is an Internet anti-jamming product widely used in China to overcome Internet censorship, released by World’s Gate, Inc. in the summer of 2006.
-Its innovative.
o Support for streaming audio/video, email, instant messaging, download managers, as well as web surfing
o Encrypted socks tunnels and backup tunnels using Skype and Tor
o Integrated application firewall
o Green and free software: copy and run without installation
o English, Chinese, Farsi interface, Burmese manual
#FirePhoenix
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT | FirePhoenix
-FirePhoenix (FP) is the first virtual private network (VPN) based anti-censorship tool which is dramatically different from other existing tools. It offers the most powerful protection so far to users working under censorship.
-One of the most comprehensive tools there is...Downside though is that it makes your surfing experience that much slow...Product Highlight
Universal
FirePhoenix (FP) protects all your Internet applications and protocols, not only web (http) traffic. It encrypts your data and hides your IP address when you send/receive emails, play networked games, chat with instant messengers (MSN, Yahoo Messenger, AOL IM, etc.), receive streaming media, as well as browse the web. FP immunizes Internet users against monitoring or eavesdropping on ANY information flowing in/out of your computer.
Automatic
FP's powerful protection does not require complex settings by a user. The protection is in place as soon as FP is started. No need to find or set proxies; no need to modify any setting in your applications.
Secure
FP encrypts all your network traffic. No third-party can recognize what Internet information is flowing in/out of your computer, even if they are monitoring your traffic.
# GTunnel
Garden Networks for Information Freedom
GTunnel is a Windows application that works as a local HTTP or SOCKS proxy server, developed by non-profit organization Garden Networks
GTunnel protects Internet users’ privacy and freedom of speech in these ways:
* User’s IP address is hidden and user’s Internet privacy protected. The destination servers see GTunnel server addresses instead.
* Traffic content is encrypted with industry-strength algorithms between the user’s PC and GTunnel servers so the local filtering/censorship systems will not see the content in clear-text format.
* Blockade of target servers circumvented.
-Haven't tried this yet but I read its a favorite of many...
#FreeGate
Dynaweb
FreeGate is an anti-censorship software for secure and fast Internet access developed and maintained by Dynamic Internet Technology Inc. (DIT: Dynamic Internet Technology), a pioneer in censorship-circumvention operation, which was founded originally in 2001 to provide email delivery services to China for U.S. government agencies and NGOs.It is a Windows application that runs on most Windows platforms from Windows 98 to Vista, as well as on Linux and MAC through WineHQ - Run Windows applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X .
-The software is nice and secure i.e if you know your way around...
-The software Gpass I mentioned earlier has a FF add-on called Gproxy that helps users to manage and switch proxy settings easily. It supports GPass, FreeGate, UltraSurf, Garden, and other proxy systems, with Chinese and English interface.
A video tutorial in case you like it...
#Ultrasurf
UltraSurf
-Hands down one of the most popular and successful proxy tools on the market
-It’s a flagship anti-censorship product by UltraReach Internet Corp. (UltraSurf), an Internet technology company founded in 2002 by a group of Silicon Valley technologists (Chinese). It’s is a green software, no installation process is needed and no change in system setting is required.
-UltraSurf enables users inside countries with heavy Internet censorship to visit any public web sites in the world safely and freely- just the same as using the regular IE browser– while it automatically searches the fastest proxy servers in the background. It has strong support for load balancing and fault tolerance, and it even employs a decoying mechanism to thwart any tracing effort of its communication with its infrastructure.
-UltraSurf has following features:

A video tutorial
-It really was my favorite until I noticed no matter where you are in the world the IP range you get will always the one you see in the video above.The last digits may change other its always that number...
-So there's a good chance that some paranoid trackers may ban that IP range
So to counter that here is my absolute favorite tool
Spoiler No. 1:
There are others like paperbus ( PaperBus / The Free Proxy Service! ) that require registration and some other stuff that we are not comfortable giving out so can't recommend them...
The list is by no means comprehensive but I hope is informative...
