What kind of phone?  Android and iPhones phones come with built-in PPTP and L2TP so you just need to sign up for a VPN service and follow their simple directions.  Windows Phone 7 and even Windows Phone 8 will not have VPN, so avoid those phones.  VPN is very flaky on phones, however, so your results will vary.  I can't get VPN to work on my Android phone with Unicom, but it works fine with Telecom and China Mobile.

I have an iPhone on Unicom and the built in VPN function works fine. First however is you need a VPN subscription which can be bought online (you might need to get out of the country first, as the site may already be blocked). Second you need to check the VPN supports the use on cell phones, if they do they will probably have a setup guide on their site or their support team can help you.

 

Recommeded VPN: WiTopia (www.hopthewall.com) - Affordable and easy to use, GREAT support!

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
