- alexchantavy 10y agoCan you elaborate? Someone above commented that Tor was the only way they were able to get out of the GFW.
- chrisfosterelli 10y agoChina uses fairly complex artificial intelligence to detect TOR connections. Anything that "behaves like" TOR or a VPN is quickly caught on to and blocked. There are a few attempts designed to make TOR look more like standard web traffic, which are really interesting. It's definitely a cat-and-mouse-style game. Some have more success than others.
