Is there a proxy server, not blocked in China, to circumvent the "Great Firewall" here?

I live in China and many proxy servers here are blocked as well.

Just tried it, Jeff, but it doesn't work. They have blocked it too! They are very serious here about controlling their population's surfing abilities.

Have you tried SSH through a web server?

Had a good look soragon, but will not use this method because it looks very complicated to implement, appears to be a controversial method from ISP's point of view (I can't afford to upset my Chinese ISP provider) and is not a simple, long term solution for both browsing AND torrent downloading ;-) Tks anyway... will have to look further.

You may want to consider "Tor" although it is really only good for browsing because throughput is fairly low.

You can download an all in one client gui here:
http://www.torproject.org/download.html.en

And here's a firefox addon that will make firefox connect through Tor:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2275

One detail you may be interested in with Tor is it is possible to choose to only connect to Tor servers of your choosing, like in other countries.

If you want to torrent things badly you could pay a little for a seedbox which is essentially a server you pay for that runs bitorrent that you can remotely control then download your files off of it using sftp.

The only other option I can think of is get an out of country friend to help setup an ssh tunnel like previously suggested.
