Getting blocked from your hit of Facebook? Break out of rehab. Photo: demibrooke

I dislike facebook, but I dislike censorship more. However, if you are one of those facebook addicts that gets to Vietnam and finds they are in rehab, then fear not, there are hack arounds:

1. Hostels and Internet Cafes

Click here to access Facebook,

then click on the word facebook.

It works best if you use adblock plus with firefox.

If you want a quicker version, go to the bottom of the proxy page and type in: lite.facebook.com

2. If you carry your own laptop, Iphone, or Ipod Touch:

Use OpenDNS or Google DNS for permanent and easy results (for now).

3. If those don’t work:

there is an excellent website called sendible.com, which allows you to send facebook messages and updated your status. It also lets you update your twitter, send emails, and send sms.

The best feature? schedule your messages to send at a reasonable time for those at home, or for their birthday if you are offline. In fact, forget facebook and just use sendible.

4. When all hope is lost:

 Give up on facebook for a while, go and have some adventures and interact with the people around you, rather than at home.

Did it work for you? Let me know in the comments.
