How to unblock Facebook in China

This post is relevant to anyone going to China. Since Facebook, parts of Google, YouTube, etc. is blocked by the Chinese government, many tourists look for ways to get around the block.
There are ways to do this for free, but they are rather insecure and to succeed you will probably have to waste a lot of your precious vacation-time. When we were in China last year, we stumbled across an excellent solution to the problem -

SecuriTales is a proxy server that allows you to access Facebook and all other blocked sites while you're in China. You connect to their foreign servers and it guarantees you complete security. While there may be other solutions that'll work just as fine, we found hide my real ip to be the most reliable of all proxy servers we tried. The price is currently 20$  for one year, but if you cancel the service within a month after sign-up, you will receive a complete refund of your money. So if you're staying for less than a month, it's definitely worth looking into 
If you're still insecure, it's even possible to try it out for free for 10 minutes, just to check if your blocked site really is accessible through their servers.
If you're in China, give it a go!
