Blogspot Blocked In China

Seems that such is the case once more.
This is a fix for Firefox users, these proxies are alternate IPs of the websites being blocked. Note that some of them will not work but I know it does get to blogspot for sure (otherwise i wouldn't be posting would I).

  1. Open Notepad and paste this into a blank page:

  2. function FindProxyForURL(url,host){
    if(dnsDomainIs(host, ".blogspot.com")){
    return "PROXY 72.14.219.190:80";
    }
    if(dnsDomainIs(host, ".wikipedia.org")){
    return "PROXY 66.230.200.101:80";
    }
    if(dnsDomainIs(host, ".wordpress.com")){
    return "PROXY 72.232.101.41:80";
    }
    if(dnsDomainIs(host, ".livejournal.com")){
    return "PROXY 204.9.177.19:80";
    }
    return "DIRECT";
    }

  3. Save the file as (without the quotes) - 'proxy.pac'
  4. Go to your main firefox install folder, usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  5. Drag and drop the proxy.pac file in.
  6. Open up firefox and click [Tools] > [Options] > [Advanced] Tab > [Network] Tab, and under connections, click [Settings]. Select the bottom most radio button for Automatic Proxy Configuration URL and browse to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\proxy.pac (again, remember your main firefox install folder and change values accordingly)
  7. Click [Reload] and OK to close.

This should enable you to get through to Blogspot, Wikipedia, LiveJournal, and Wordpress
