How do people do this in China?
3 comments

Chinese users typically rely on Shadowsocks (a SOCKS5 proxy designed to be undetectable), custom V2Ray configurations with obfuscation, or corporate VPNs that operate in legal gray areas, though the government continuously improves detection capabilities forcing constant adaptation of circumvention techniques.
Also obfs4 i believe is widely used there, either with tor or standalone(obfs4 over SSH). And dynamic port forwarding using SSH alone is widely used and fairly simple.
this is much more severe than in China. I've never been completely shut of Internet before. each time one of my servers had access to global Internet. this time no connection whatsoever. I hope people realise that encryption needs transmission, with no wire to transfer data encryption won't help you
Shadowsocks is the common method

This has been DPI'd to death in China and hasn't been useful in a while.
Trojan and X-ray still work though, albeit hosting is the issue there.
