yes, but not all countries smile on use of VPNs. i don't know about turkey but in others you can get in some trouble.

  that's assuming they can catch you, which they most likely can't.

    with nation-state resources, are there not traffic analysis options that could work?
    • MiroF 7y ago
      there are ways of circumventing them - China has very sophisticated traffic analysis options but they are not too hard to get around as long as you're not using one of the big popular VPNs.

  More like inconvenience than trouble, I would say, as most prominent VPN providers are blocked at IP level.

    i am told by expats that you can use VPNs in china to get access to blocked sites; i am also told that the government generally turns a blind eye, especially to foreigners using VPNs. how they deal with chinese users, in terms of social credit score, is something that is opaque. it seems like an inherently "antisocial" activity by the standards of their governance. this is all assuming that with nation state resources they can identify use of VPNs at the user level.

      China knows it's impossible to stop everyone all the time, they just need to put up enough barriers to make it something you actively have to do, then make sure the culture is such that the majority won't even consider doing it, and if they do manager to see western reports on concentration camps in west china, or tianaman square, they won't spread it to the masses.

  Turkey actually has a GFW equivalent and it is spread across multiple layers.
