      Yeah the problem I have with those is that they are mostly run by Chinese, be it on- or offshore, and they can be compromised or extorted. And any service that accepts payment via alipay is sketchy in my books.

        It’s opensource, You can get a vps and run your own, very easy and the speed is enough to watch 4k youtube.

          I had a shadowsocks server on a vps, was dead after a few weeks. Hosted on AWS Hong Kong (before China took over). They blacklist IPs very quickly.

            SS on AWS is easy to be found and blocked, try Trojan, Hysteria v2, V2Ray…, I had one of V2Ray on GCP hong kong, and it lasted for a very long time.
            Usually GCP and Azure has the best connection to CN.

              Interesting, thanks! My astrill subscription is still running for a couple months, but will test it as a fallback.

      I mean i don’t want to be in China in general. Proton worked fine last time i was there (10 years ago) and they are working on a stealth protocol to circumvent blocks of wireguard and openvpn protocols.

      For China the best option is using TOR anyway.

        LOL, China is not that bad, and the GFW is easy to break through anyway.

          It is one of the worst places on earth.

          and the GFW is easy to break through anyway.

          Initially maybe, but they use a Algorithm to detect VPNs and other holes in their filter and they will block you eventually, or they just scan your traffic regardless of a VPN (yes that’s possible, although very Costly)

          And then you are fucked.

          Also, fuck China.

            Have you ever been to China? I have been lived in China for many years, actually no much complains of my very own experience so far.
            And I’d been to US, Indonesia, Thailand…and the worst experience I had is in US, each time I visited there, there were gunshot incidents happened nearby, and homeless people, bad smell on subway…I am not saying all US places are like this, I only visited CA, some places are cool, but I definitely won’t go out alone after 8pm in the dark.
