Can you use Bitcoin and access Bitcointalk freely without using a VPN?

[Kazimir]

I live in USA and as far as I know the government here doesn't block any sites.

Lol The US government's censorship & internet control department is doing a REAL good job if its citizins aren't even aware (or in denial) about their site blocking practices

You forgot about Wikileaks, Edward Snowden, etc?

[DarkHyudrA]

Brazil here and everything is fine.
I already had some problem with a few servers for Electrum, but it's probably nothing related to IP blocks.

China, the one who bans Bitcoin. No Wonder if China restricts the access of Bitcointalk on their country

[GabbyWC]

There aren't any restrictions on using Bitcoin or accessing this forum from Canada. As others have already mentioned, a VPN and / or Tor is what you'll have to use in order to get around China's online censorship.

I highly recommend VPNcoin, you can use our European proxy

As his government is very strict regarding Internet censorship, so if they find out that someone is using social media or anything like that in one way or the other then it will be very problematic to him.

There is an example of it;
As you all be knowing about the one child norm of China,
There was a family in which a second child was born.
Their government fined them around 100k euro(if I'm right and maybe more). And you all know that 100k euro is hell of a fine.

Hopefully Maidsafe is a big success and the internet is no longer censorable and you can freely access information, until then it seems you will have to use Tor, it's free as opposed to VPN. Just don't reveal any personal information when using it. With Bitcoin Core I think it has in-built Tor support, not sure because I've never used it. It may be really slow to download the blockchain through Tor tho.

OP that is crazy I knew China was bad but that is cyber control taken to another level!

Luckily I have never been because if I did, no doubt I would be thrown in jail and freedoms stripped for a few years.

Sorry to hear the extent you guys need to go to just to use a wallet and forum (mean face China)

The Chinese government block thousands of websites in order to prevent what appears to be a politically sensitive information that can not reach Internet users

Yep, we hate the gov.

well the government there has a reason you can't keep feeding your population like no tomorrow, that country is fully of bad pollution now, take a look at the production of their factories

anyway talking about bypassing their internet limitations, it can be avoided with some proxies, i doubt they have banned any proxy/vps/vpn out there

[Cereberus]

I would think TO client would allow you from going out of your oppressed countries leesh.

[mallard]

The UK government forces some ISPs to block websites, but my tiny ISP doesn't seem to care about that which is nice.
Nothing Bitcoin related is blocked and everything works reasonably fast.

By doing this and if he get caught then his life can become like hell.
Their government is so strict and also keeps track of every online activity(OK most of it).
And if someone found guilty of doing illegal activity then God knows what they'll do to him.

Here its the internet companies that make their sites faster and other sites slower.

Do you know why the US citizen can not use Perfectmoney?

you should not rely on their internet service provider when doing what i've said, but on a mesh network if possible or some wifi that his not controlled

but also a good vpn which do not keep the log it would be okay i guess

Hello guys, I am very depressed. I live in China mainland, each time when I try to login to Bitcoin client(I use portable Electrum most) I must seek for a proxy or VPN. Without a proxy or vpn, the client can't hardly connect to the network.  Sometimes,  I cannot even access Bitcointalk and Blockchain freely without using a proxy or vpn, and yes, at the moment, I am using a vpn browsing Bitcointalk and starting this topic.
Have you ever travel to China? We get no access to Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and many many many other websites that are hosted abroad.
Can you use Bitcoin freely and access Bitcointalk and Blockchain freely without using a proxy/VPN in your country?

Yes this is how china works china have its own social networks and search engines in chiness language they dont care about english and dont give any profit out of china from chiness people i am also from asia i dont need any kind of vpn or proxy not anything to access anything expect some porn websites 

[afriezalie]

China has very good censor, so maybe the government banned bitcoin network. I live in southeast asia, everything is fine here although my government often bans important site, but it's ok, i use vpn to access those sites. I don't have any problem in bitcoin network because my governmont doesn't ban it
