on a desktop we'd just setup an ssh tunnel to an ec2 instance and use SwitchyOmega in Chrome.

How did that work out performance wise? I was on an adsl connection in Beijing. Inside the country it was really great, could max out the 100mbit. Foreign websites were a pain. I found that ingress traffic constantly had a packet loss of 30%, which made TCP really unhappy, including ssh tunnels. Ended up writing my own tunnel software that was tuned to cope with the network situation.

  I found the most success with https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/tree/master https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/tree/master . It was a while back though. With ssh, restarting the connection would help for whatever reason. So I had a little script rotating a set of connection behind haproxy. EDIT: oh and Hong Kong. HK VPSes seemed to work the best.

    Does anyone know the story behind: https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks "Removed according to regulations." vs: https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/tree/master https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/tree/master Is it the shadowsocks project dancing around github censorship, or github allowing ss to dance around chinese censorship?

      TLDR: Police asked the developer to stop working on it. (and judging by their Twitter activity, no crazy stuff happened) https://web.archive.org/web/20150822042959/https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-iOS/issues/124#issuecomment-133630294 https://web.archive.org/web/20150822042959/https://github.co...

        Right, but the code is still there, still being developed, just on the master branch? That doesn't really square with "stopped working on it" - unless it's just a sham to dodge the police - but that sounds pretty dangerous? (As opposed to, say have someone else host it, host it in a new place etc).

What's about connections outside the browser (and SSH)? BTW, I have noticed a trend to block port 22 in international hotels. It's annoying!
