Developer’s Description

By DIT

Access blocked Web sites via anonymous proxy.

Freegate is the most popular circumvention proxy anonymity software used in China that helps millions daily. Many students, tourists, businessmen, diplomats and journalists find Freegate indispensable during their visit in China.

Warning: you may not be able to access download.com or any of its alternative mirror sites in China. If you are going to China, this may be your last chance to see this page as well as websites such as facebook.com, youtube.com, twitter.com, if you do not carry a workable circumvention solution with you. You may also want to practice using this software while you are still in the free world, so it is easier to resolve any usability confusions. Please note that the usage of this software outside China may be limited to some web sites only. This issue will disappear when you are in China.

Pain in the neck...
mivammaMarch 2, 2014
Pros
The pro is that if the goal is to criple one's computer; this software does it soooo fast. I can't browser the Internet at all. All my bookmarks are directing me to a part English, part Chinese page...
Cons
I downloaded it yesterday, but by this morning the computer is useless. I don't exactly know how it works. And by it I mean, I don't know if it is still on my computer in any shape or form. Now, I finally managed to disable it, exit it, but if the software was designed to be undetectable and untraceable, then here comes my problem: how do I detect it to make sure that all traces are gone...? I would not want Mao to control my computer...
Summary
It might work for people who it chooses to work for, but I was not one of those ;(
Excellent tool

Pros
Software is very user friendly and has impressive features. It runs in background without any interruption.
Cons
It disconnects the internet sometime while using.
Summary
Works and created by the Falungong Cult.
February 27, 2013
Pros
You can access some popular websites that are blocked in China, like Facebook, Youtube etc.
Cons
The user must take into consideration that the Falungong is dodgy at best and is a clear cut cult supported by money from the NED. The NED is basically set up to destabilize governments perceived to be threat or rival to the USA. For example the NEd support movements hostile to China, Iran and Venezuela, but turns a blind eye to human rights abusers like Saudi Arabia.
Summary
If you are addicted to Facebook, then download. Otherwise, given the reputation of the Falungong, I wouldn't touch it. You'd never know what they will do with the info they get from you when you install and use it.
Can someone please identify the source of FreeGate?

Pros
It works 10% of the time but glad to have it...
Cons
Falun Gong = F.G. Free Gate = F.G. Advertising for Shen Yun (musical theatre group whose proceeds support the Falun Gong) are very prominent in banners for FreeGate. Look it's fine to support what ever group you want. But if you are going to make software that people will be accessing bank information, personal email, and more and running all data through your proxies... then at least be transparent enough to tell people who you are....
Summary
I would just like to see the group (Falun Gong) admit that they are behind FreeGate. Then people can make an educated choice around using the software and passing their private data through the Falun Gong's servers/proxies.
yes five star no doubt.

ctf.msnDecember 11, 2010
Pros
Works perfectly. I read someone's article from somewhere that if you come across browsing problems then might be it's time to find a newer version.
Cons
none for the time being

I downloaded the Chinese version 7.06 from the developer website, installed on my USB and it works very well, either during my staying in mainland China or at home, without any problems. My machine running english XP SP3. ps: don't understand why the english version still 6.08
