I use an unencrypted PPTP VPN and the connection is really fast and stable here (Shenzhen, China Telecom). I have tried OpenVPN and ssh but both were much slower. FWIW, I don't believe using a VPN is illegal in China (though operating a VPN service without a license most likely is) and pretty much every single foreigner I know uses one.

- olalonde 11y agoYes, that was my point. They are happy to let people circumvent the firewall as long as they're still able to read the traffic.
- Bromlife 11y agoPPTP is not secure. You need to open another, more secure, tunnel within your PPTP session.
- caiych 11y agoAccording to a recent file. Using a VPN isn't illegal. But hosting an unregistered VPN service in China is illegal. And the right of using an unregistered VPN service is not guaranteed.
