Has anyone got VPN working on iPhone/iPod Touch in the PRC?
I tried to get my 12VPN working but it seems, from previous comments, that PPTP has been blocked in China.
Any other options for iPhone?

The problem with the iso-ne site is not your IP address it's that for some reason the URL is not resolved by PCCW's DNS servers. If you change to, for example, Goggle's DNS (8.8.4.4) then the site comes up fine.
It pays to take careful note of what the browser is telling you: "Can't find" the site is a DNS problem. "Can't connect to" or "No reply from" is a routing / blocking problem.

Interesting. This was from work using wharf isp, so no idea what DNS I was using (or indeed how to change it even if I did!)
Oh, OK, so not just PCCW's DNS. But my basic point still applies - read what your browser tells you.
On Windows XP you change the DNS in the Network Connections/<whatever connection you're using>/Properties/Internet Protocol/Properties screen. It defaults to "get the DNS address automatically" but you can put the address of any DNS server you wish in there.

I'm currently using Netvigator ISP which requires me to dbl-click a WAN Miniport PPPOE connection under my Network Connections.
Any idea if I can even run a VPN on top of that? I've used a PPTP one before but that was in the past using a different ISP where I didn't have to configure a connection just to use the basic internet.
Am I stuck with using a proxy or something?
I'd love to hear any recommendations too. Need to get something up and running before the F1 this weekend! I used to use a VPN service called "My Private Network". Only a fiver a month but the speed suddenly tanked one month so I cancelled.
I've discovered a new service called Unblock-Us.com. Been using it for about a month and things seem to work.
Here's a little write up about it: Unblock-US (and an Android hack), proxy service to access sites abroad - browngeek's posterous
Very interesting. Which sites have you tested that work?
Especially interesting with android use.
