Securitales is a very fast web based proxy for users in China. It's actually the only one I know of, so you really haven't got much choice if you're looking for a proxy. It's cheap, it's fast, and it works. There's not much else to day.

12VPN has always been my favorite VPN. It's easy to install, and if you get a US only IP (10 locations in the US) it's one of the cheapest out there. For SSL/OpenVPN most places are charging over $100 dollars a year, but 12VPN is only $79. It's also fast. I've been using it for two years now, even after trying 5 other services.
- $79 / 12 months (US IP address only)
- $119 / 12 months (World VPN)

That's the short and sweet of getting of Facebook in China. It's been pretty much downhill for most proxy and VPN services in China this year. Witopia got completely blocked. Freedur sold out to MocaVPN (which only has PPTP protocol available). Hide My Ass is blocked. Hotspot Shield is blocked. ibVPN is blocked in some areas. StrongVPN is blocked sometimes and not others. VyprVPN works great but it's just too expensive ($20 bucks a month for SSL/OpenVPN or $140 / year)
I don't mean to put the pressure on but really, with the way these sites are getting blocked, the links you find here might not work in a couple days.
