Dear all :
i want to google some solutions about my question to save the time. but my location don't allow access google by GOV. do you know some free vpn can supoort freebsd , or payment by Alipay ? thanks.
 
You can get all sorts of VPN software on FreeBSD (there's wireguard, openvpn, and so on), but your question sounds more like you want to access some VPN service for "anonymization"? If so, better think twice. While these services can hide your actual location from websites you visit, they don't do anything against other ways to identify you ("fingerprinting" of all kinds) and, of course, the operator of such a service has full access to your traffic.

If you really need anonymization, better look into something like TOR. A long time ago, I wrote some HOWTO: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/anonymous-browsing-on-freebsd-incomplete.82822/ – meanwhile, we also have www/tor-browser in ports, but you might still want to read up a bit about the threats to anonymity before just using it.

core : i want to access google web site, wiki through vpn . thanks.
 
I think the best solution for you is to rent a virtual private server (VPS) for instance running freebsd, install a VPN server on it (for instance wireguard) and install the VPN client on your devices (freebsd or other).

Dear Da+lynx-+:
what vps i can use it in china alipay ? , i have hired aliyun vps , but this guy can't access google still. thanks.
 
Ok, so this is about being able to search the web for starters (whether you could then access what you found would probably be the next issue). Getting reminded of this sort of issue is pretty disheartening.

Maybe a totally different idea: Can you access duckduckgo? It's not bad after all and respects your privacy much better than google. If you can't access it, you might still try tor-browser. Duckduckgo even operates a "hidden service" here: https://duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion/ (might work better on TOR when there are issues with "exit nodes").
 
Ok, didn't even know about this list, but kind of expected ...

This would still leave TOR though. Seems there are efforts to block this as well, and also ways to dodge these:

How to circumvent the Great Firewall and connect to Tor from China?
Users in China need to take a few steps to circumvent the Great Firewall and connect to the Tor network.

To get an updated version of Tor Browser, try the Telegram bot first: @gettor_bot. If that doesn't work, you can send an email to gettor@torproject.org with the subject "windows", "macos", or "linux" for the respective operating system.

After the installation, Tor Browser will try to connect to the Tor network. If Tor is blocked in your location, Connection Assist will try to automatically connect using a bridge or Snowflake. But if that doesn't work, the second step will be to obtain a bridge that works in China.

There are three options to unblock Tor in China:

* Snowflake: uses ephemeral proxies to connect to the Tor network. It's available in Tor Browser and other Tor powered apps like Orbot. You can select Snowflake from Tor Browser's built-in bridge menu.
* Private and unlisted obfs4 bridges: contact our Telegram Bot @GetBridgesBot and type /bridges. Or send an email to frontdesk@torproject.org with the phrase "private bridge cn" in the subject of the email. If you are tech-savvy, you can run your own obfs4 bridge from outside China. Remember that bridges distributed by BridgeDB, and built-in obfs4 bridges bundled in Tor Browser most likely won't work.
* meek-azure: makes it look like you are browsing a Microsoft website instead of using Tor. However, because it has a bandwidth limitation, this option will be quite slow. You can select meek-azure from Tor Browser's built-in bridges dropdown.
If one of these options above is not working, check your Tor logs and try another option.

If you need help, you can contact our support team on Telegram Tor Project Support and Signal.

I discarded the search of that company decades ago and never missed it. Are you aware of alternatives, do you need tips or is it the brand you crave for?

That's off topic. OP is just trying to evade their government's censorship. They mentioned wanting to access wikipedia as well.

Options you use are most likely unavailable to them as well.

I'm wondering if they only block the domains through DNS though, if so setting up a local resolver might also be a way of circumventing it. That's how I circumvented the Piratebay blockade set up by BREIN back in those days. Then they started blocking the IPv4 address(es), which I circumvented by using IPv6 :D

Now that I think about it, you could try setting up an IPv6 tunnelbroker (it's free, you can get one here: https://tunnelbroker.net/), you can choose where your exit point will be. Maybe that'll be enough.

Certainly not, their primary blocking method is transport layer blocking by IP address. From what you find on the net, they also apply some DPI, e.g. looking for "subversive" keywords.

Possible. But it would also be very easy to block generically (proto-41).

When I visited China (it's a long time ago), OpenVPN to my machine at home worked flawlessly. That's probably the best (most performant and comfortable) method to circumvent their crazy filtering, but of course it requires you to have an endpoint somewhere else in the world...
