VPN in China For Mac

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,

as usual i'm not sure if i posting in the right place, if i'm not ,well, i'm sorry.
As the subject says i'm trying to find a decent way to get over the "chinese firewall".
On my other windows PC i managed to install and use Hot Spot Shield (even if isn't working as well as 2 years ago) and is quite decent.
I tried to get Mac version but , i don't if due to my inability or due to some problem of the program itself , is not working.

Any idea how to solve the problem?

Thx!

MaBook Pro 15', Mac OS X (10.6.6)

From what I can gather, it's possible to connect to at least some public OpenVPN endpoints outside China through the firewall. You should realize, however, that although the authorities won't be able to read or filter your traffic through a VPN tunnel, they will know you're using it.

For an OpenVPN client, you can use either Viscosity (paid) or TunnelBlick (free).
