Can’t Access Facebook In Vietnam? Learn How To Access Blocked Sites

Facebook Blocked in Vietnam

Have you been blocked from accessing Facebook in Vietnam recently? Have you also noticed that some YouTube videos aren’t accessible in Vietnam? Or you can’t access websites like Pandora or Netflix? Well, a VPN service will solve that problem.

A lot of people are having issues connecting to Facebook.com once again in Vietnam. If you really want to access sites that have been blocked by VN or sites that are not accessible worldwide, I highly suggest signing up for a VPN service — it not only unblocks websites but it also offers security and anonymity when you’re browsing the Internet. These services give you a unique IP that’s located elsewhere in the world — so when you access a website, it thinks you’re from a different location and not your current location (Vietnam).

Below are a few services that you can try. Most of them offer 1 week trials — money back guarantee.

For mac, Windows, Android, iPhone :

  • StrongVPN (I currently use this service and have not had any issues with them — aget 12 months for $85 or $55 depending on which package you choose from Vietnam)
  • PandaPow (I have used this service in the past and it worked out really well — get 12 months for $84 — very responsive, great support)
  • Witopia
  • Proxpn

 

 

A Time Lapse of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

My friend, Mike, shared this video with a few of us through an email and when I saw it, I knew I had to share it on my blog!

I love the background music of this video and how the scenes were pieced together, showing different streets in Ho Chi Minh City. The video made traffic appear less bizarre and chaotic, however.

If you have never visited Vietnam before, I hope you do one day. It’s the only place with the most motor bikes in the world! Make sure you come with an open mind!
