    There are several webpage proxies out there to bypass the great firewall, one I used to use was

    http://anonymouse.org./

    As for logging onto facebook and co you will have to find a web page proxy that enables Java scripts and applets, I did find one once but its long forgotten. The best thing about web proxies is like with all other webpages, as long as you have an up-to-date anti virus nothing will happen. With all honestly I get more virus attack warnings accessing Chinese national media webpages.

    As for logging into banking, just don't use a webpage proxy, it is very unlikely that China blocks bank's home pages.

    If I were you, I would be careful about trying to bypass the filters in China, you might find yourself in trouble. All commonly used proxies in China are blocked anyways, already tried.

    Many foreigners in China try bypassing state Internet controls with virtual private networks and proxy services, but the problem with these solutions is they introduce considerable risk to their users.

    Whenever you log into your bank account, credit card account, or email using a VPN or proxy your user ID and password are being processed by the 3rd party computer system. Do you really want these outsiders having access to your user IDs and passwords?

    Online financial transaction security is predicated upon secure communication between the customer and the financial institution. VPNs and proxies disrupt that and introduce enormous risk. If your money is stolen out of your account or credit card info is compromised and purchases made on your account, then the financial companies are NOT responsible for the loss if you used a VPN or proxy.

    Be smart and keep your personal information private. Never share your user IDs and passwords with anyone else. Avoid VPNs and proxies.
