How do I set up a proxy server for China?

What's the best way to set up a proxy for surfing from China? We'll be moving next month to China and Mrs. arcticseal is concerned that she won't be able to satisfy her Facebook and Google addiction if they're blocked. While I'm comfortable enough setting up a wireless network, I'm never set up a proxy before and am not sure how to go about it. Previous questions have covered this, but not recently.

We have a mixed Windows (Vista) and Mac household, including various iPods, iPad and PS3.

We don't plan on doing anything subversive while there, just stay in touch with friends and family.

Instructions that even a complete amateur could understand would be appreciated. Bonus points if we can still access Netflix streaming!
