To any one coming to China, get a shadowsocks server ready first! Or let me know if need help.

  To be even more prepared: spin up two Digital Ocean Shadowsocks servers in case one gets throttled down (which happens after extensive usage). I often combine this with ExpressVPN as well, which still works in China (although many are sceptical of how ExpressVPN has managed to do so over the years, so expect there to be logging). I wonder how long it'll take before Steam going offline as well, now that they are both thinking about implementing streaming and the fact that gaming is seen as unharmonious these days (e.g. refer to Tencent's recent stock drop). Steam is currently handled by Perfect World Games as the Chinese partner, so I'm curious to see what will happen.

      I wonder if it is because so many are using vultr for this purpose now they started to accept WePay.

  Or get a low cost international roaming data plan. Nothing is blocked if you are on international roaming because essentially your traffic is tunneled to your home country carrier.
