Like, from inside China to the outside, but a bilateral solution would be fine with me, too.
It’s better to pay for a VPN provider that is verified to work in China. And no, they won’t kidnap you for using a VPN as some people write here. It’s a non-issue just to bypass the GFW. The issue is when you write to a Chinese audience things that the CCP do not like.
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.
ITT: lots of generic VPN advice by people who have no experience with the specific problem.
I have a private vpn in korea, i could connect to that vpn even through china’s hotel wifi
Could browse as per normal with abysmal internet speed
I travelled to China in October 2023. I have a Wireshark VPN running at home with my internet provider (dinamic IP), and it worked for few hours (about 6) and they ban the IP. Resetting the router and getting a new made it work for another few hours.
As others suggested the vpn traffic is encrypted but very easy to detect. I read about some protocols that can bypass it like shadow shocks but I didn’t have time to tinkering (it was my first time in China).
I ended by using the service provided by 12vpx and it worked flawlessly. Someone recommended it and it is specialized in provided access in china with lots of gateways. I never had problems with this provider.
Probably there are others that also work but that is my experience.
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.
You can tunnel over SSL with stunnel. TCP latency can be brutal though.
