For those of you who want to access the China-based websites to watch free movies, then you need to use China IP address.
Here are two websites with free proxy list for China, here and here.
Note: Keep this free IP address site on your browser. Do not close it as yet. You may need it later when you find the "IP address" which you have selected might NOT work with Google.
