    It seems to have gotten past an IP ban fine, but I still got partially limited.. I am thinking this may be a location block. Though I see their company headquarters are located in Canada, I'm not sure where my connection was. I saw something about Myanmar (Burma) on the program dashboard.

Good VPN software, But it will automatically open a webpage, filled with a lot of negative and false news about China.

This is the first service I ever used to unblock websites in my school. It's a good one. Reminds me of those days.
