Anyone tested Tor in China recently? Back when I was making regular business trips there, I not only tested and reported bugs, but I shared it with many locals who were interested in what an open Internet experience was like. (Sadly, wanting facebook access as the #1 reason, a reliable gmail/google was #2)
Over the years I watched a fascinating arms race unfold. From it working out of the box, to needing a bridge, then obfs, obfs2, obfs3, obfs4... On my last trip, even obfs4 wasn't working.
- dgzl 8y agoThank you for your work in testing and sharing the software in China, and risking your freedom to do so.
- dstryr 8y agoIn Shanghai I'm able to connect through the meek-azure bridge, but everything is incredibly slow. I'm still having the best results using Shadowsocks on a VPS (although I'm on a 200Mbps China Telecom line at home). Commercial VPN offerings, such as ExpressVPN and Astrill, were slow in comparison.
