Just use a VPN outside the country or lease a low end VPS outside the country with decent bandwidth and host your own VPN endpoint. They can't force ISPs to block all of the VPN protocols in general or they'll lose a ton of businesses that rely on it for basic security of remote/traveling employees.
They very much can, I've seen it happen last year. The main protocols are VERY easily recognizable by DPI. However, there are obfuscation methods that can get through even Chinese Firewall, and they're constantly improving.
You can't DPI a VPN tunnel because it will break the tunnel connection.
I meant that the DPI can easily detect the fact that the connection is indeed Wireguard or OpenVPN.
