If you’re reading this from inside China and aren’t accessing the internet through a VPN, you should be.
With a VPN, you can access Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and everything else on the internet anonymously. After using Freedur for several months and enjoying unrestricted access to everything, we know how good it feels to browse unrestricted. With this in mind, we’re giving away 10 six-month Freedur VPN subscriptions, valued at $40 each!! More information below.
Why Freedur is Awesome
It’s cheap, easy to use, and it works great.
For $60 a year (about 1 yuan a day) you can access everything on the internet. I’ve tried other VPN’s and decided: Freedur is the best of the pack since it loads sites so quickly and seamlessly (and ad-free) that it’s easy to forget I’m using a VPN at all. The support is quick and effective and Freedur is available on Windows, Mac, and even Linux.
When you decide you want to sign up to Freedur, enter the checkout code “Chengdu Living” to get a 10% discount!
Giveaway Details
To participate in the drawing, all you have to do is one of the following:
1. Subscribe to our RSS feed or
2. Join our Facebook Fan Page or
Then, leave a comment on this post and you’re all set. If you’re already subscribed to one, leave a comment saying where you’re subscribed and you’ll be included.
Winners will be selected at random and mailed login information to activate the 6-month account.
I’m glad to be able to share this with you because Freedur is a service that I think you’ll really enjoy. After a few months of having access to everything, it’d be difficult to go back.
I’ll announce the winners here, in ten days on Saturday February 27, 2010. Good luck!

CNN just published a story on the growing popularity of VPN’s in China and Iran: http://tinyurl.com/y8emxmz
Have been subscribed on google reader RSS for a while, thanks for doing this guys!
I already subscribed to Facebook Fan Page Thnanks Chengdu.
What is an RSS feed? and how do I subscribe to it?
RSS is a way to automatically receive updates to the sites you visit most often. Normally you subscribe to a few sites and everyday you can use an RSS reader (like http://www.google.com/reader) to see updates to all those sites, instead of visiting them all manually. To subscribe, click the link to the RSS feed – either the one in the original post above or in the top right corner of the site where there’s an RSS feed for posts and another for comments. Let me know if this isn’t clear-
clear as day. good luck everyone … i have a stake in the race too *blows on dice* come ON beanmilk!
Great to hear about Freedur, can’t wait to start and use it! It will finally make it possible for me to stay in touch with my friends from all over the world, without being restricted by the great wall 😛
It’s an awesome service. Whoever wins will be very happy I’m sure! Even if you don’t win, it’s really a service worth paying for. Plus, if you enter “chengdu living” into the coupon area at checkout you’ll get 10% off.
Good luck!
Oh oh oh, I soooo hope I can get a subscription. I’m an American who’s been in China for nearly 4 years (Guangdong) and all my free proxies are starting to keel over. I’ve wanted to try this one out, and this looks like a great opportunity.
Btw, just found this site, and it’s great 🙂
Subscribed! I’m living in Chengdu, and the restricted access is the only bad thing here~
Suscribed!
I am a newcomer to Chengdu and already tired of proxys…

Thank you very much
Hi,
I just registered for Freedur recently (today actually) I Paid for 1 year subscription, downloaded the Freedur application, waited for 4 hours yet I still could not access the sites blocked by the great firewall of china.
Can you help me?
Hi Cindy,
It’s most likely configured wrong, because it should work immediately. If you’re using Firefox, install the Freedur extension, restart the browser, and see if that doesn’t work. If you continue to have problems I’d contact Freedur directly, I’m sure they’ll be able to help you. Good luck!
chenduliving rocks!
