Thankfully they’re starting to support WebRTC in Safari so secure comms on iPhones in China are still possible.

  WebRTC still needs a TURN server when two clients are communicating behind symmetric NAT, which would certainly be the case in China. The TURN server is not responsible for any encryption.

    Can't clients do their own encryption though?

      Yeah for sure. But it’s not secure by default, and clients still can’t hide the metadata like peer addresses, connection time, bandwidth usage etc.

    WebRTC has built in e2e encryption IIRC.

    No ipv6 on Chinese carriers?
