Can it be used to bypass censorship with the built-in tools? (VPN is not enough for bypassing censorship in China though.)
- crowell 10y agovpn is enough to bypass censorship in china. How do you think international corporations do it?
- exhilaration 10y agoI've read (in Hacker News comments from developers in China) that international corporations get specially-licensed dedicated connections in China that don't go through the Great Firewall at all. So any VPN use on a connection like that would be for security, not to defeat the censors.
- hyh1048576 10y agoThere are ISPs allowed by Gov to provide uncensored internet access, those are unblocked. Otherwise personal use of VPN can be blocked by the gov.

- tenta 10y agoYup, there are methods to fight this problem already. Our goal is to build a browser which faithfully produces the web while respecting users privacy
