Anyone have any experiences with a vps or any recommendations ? The trouble with using a private vpn from China is that they eventually get tracked down and messed with. I'm speculating that a tunnel to a vps in a non-aligned country with a simple proxy would get me though the gfw with the least trouble. Any suggestions ?

On second thoughts maybe not... your datagrams might end up as dinner:

Hamei: not to toot my (our?) own horn, but I'm board / techie core team member at a non-profit VPS hosting community, located in the Netherlands. Members of the community can get a VPS on our shared platform. Membership + basic VPS (two vCPUs, half a gig memory, 50GB disk, 1 static v4 IP in our netblock, 1 /60 IPv6 subnet in our netblock, FUP bandwidth usage) comes at €10 a month.

It has pros and cons since we're obviously not a for-profit company, and we cannot offer SLA's either. Our site is at https://soleus.nu - some content is in dutch, but at least most administrative info is in english (and we all speak/write english if necessary ;) ). You know where to find me if you want to find out more. :)

I'm using amerinoc - have a small VPS over there (San Diego afair), works just fine for my needs.
http://lowendbox.com is a very good website with VPS comparisons, cool VPS companies come over there and give away promo codes etc.
