I’m in Shanghai a few times a year on business and really have to double check that I have multiple VPN options available before leaving. Had a coworker have his phone checked at customs but we always bring dedicated “China-only” cell phones and laptops. They seem to be getting more on top of crushing outside communications but I always get at least one connection working when there. Last time it was an ssh tunnel to an AWS instance that I used to route traffic. Before that it was ExpressVPN which gave me trouble on the last visit. China is playing whack a mile with the VPNs.

Oh my god, just think, you won’t be able to check reddit or read the new york times without your precious VPN! The horror!

It's not like the new york times outputs anything of value anyway

I've got some bad news for you if you think Jews are the problem. The white capitalists wouldn't even spit on you if you were on fire, so doing their work for them by rooting out their competition is just being a useful idiot

Omg I missed his comment before it was removed, what did he say?

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It included the phrase "jew york times"

Yeah, it honestly really surprised me to see

Wow it's almost like the great firewall is trivial to circumvent and countless millions of people do it every day.
