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

- mmhsieh 7y agoi 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.
