Mine has been working fine through the recent madness, holding strong (ahem) if you will, no workarounds have been needed, though definitely noticed some slowness.
I work in an MNC, with mostly local staff and a smattering of overseas returnees and expats. All the expats are VPN savvy, only some of the overseas returnees, and pretty much NO local chinese. Heck even though instructions for setting the company proxy server is available on the intranet FAQ, until I showed people what it meant no one had bothered to change their settings.
