Not just internet, CNN-HK was blocked about 20 %, as of coverage of T sq.

I have a small office with a server, firewall, etc. this has a PPTP vpn set up on it, and all traffic is tunneled through it. Any reason this would NOT work in Beijing and Shanghai?

China is always block VPN especially free VPN service, more and more paid VPN is blocked recently. you should buy multiple VPN accounts from several vendors so GFW can't block them all.

I was able to connect back to my office fine. Worked a treat. Your mileage may vary.

(not in China at the moment) Has the blocking really gone worse last few weeks? And are many VPN providers not working any more?

I have my own server in france. What would be the best way to tunnel traffic there? I already setup a OpenVPN connection, but as far is I know GF will block this traffic. Should I tunnel the connection through SSH or SSL?

I was a little surprised not to see more current info. (The VPN section in the top-level China FAQ leads to a thread that apparently no longer exists.) According to some other travel forums, various VPNs seem to work sporadically and get blocked and unblocked, so up-to-date information would be very helpful.
So, what do people currently recommend as the best VPN for China? This will mostly be for hotel wi-fi, but also for my new GlocalMe G2 4G mobile hotspot which I hope to use with my iPhone when out and about. |
Express is reliable, and kind of fast (need to run speed tests frequently).
