Like, from inside China to the outside, but a bilateral solution would be fine with me, too.

    China blocks most IPs from foreign cloud providers like AWS or Digital Ocean. And if I am not mistaken, they can also block some VPN protocols, but I am not sure which exactly.

    Yeah, you can look up how to setup hysteria2 and xray. Additionally you need to understand that firewall is different in different places, in some places like big cities you can even use plain openvpn (during daytime), in other more rural places almost everything is blocked.

      Of course. It’s because they had to catch and write down every single byte with a pencil on paper, then decrypt it, understand it, report the funny ones to a boss, who nodded slowly and silently and then they typed it in again on the other side.

    It will work for a bit, then they will detect VPN traffic and just block the destination ip for good. Any ip you will use will be shortly unreachable for you, so be prepared to that.

    Not really, you need a license and you can host openvpn at tcp 443, but chances are they’ll try to track you down and make your life unpleasant.

    When I was there I vps bumped through Hk, that’s probably harder now.

    They are prepared for such ideas, and you should assume that they are better than you.

    It’s possible for a while but there is a whack-a-mole game if you’re doing anything they would care about. So you will have to keep moving it around. VPS forums will have some info.

    Depends - how many family members do you have that the PRC might use against you? or who would miss you if the PRC black bagged you?

      VPN’s aren’t illegal in china, and they don’t go about random people who use them. Unless you are very vocal and high profile person no one will black bag you in a country of billion people, lol.

    I don’t know if it will work, but it’s possible to tunnel all your traffic through a VPS using SSH and a piece of software called sshuttle.
