The ecosystem of secure proxies are pretty advanced in China (Thanks to, you know ...), you can setup a home router that selectively reroute traffic through different proxies automatically and transparently based on latency, target IP and domain etc. Since Airbnb is international, I guess if someone (assuming it's a small private operation) is offering rental service there, they might as well setup a proxy for foreign guests. > Some solutions would sort of work, but unreliably, with extremely minimal bandwidth and would suddenly stop working after some time The sad part is, anti proxy technology is also fairly advanced. Most of well-known VPN protocols such as OpenVPN, AnyConnect, IPSec and Wireguard etc can be identified via traffic analyze, once GFW detects suspicious traffic, it may launch probes to further investigate the service. That's why Chinese people use Shadowsocks, Clan and V2Ray, those proxies are designed to protect itself from these situations. Shadowsocks and V2Ray require some know-hows to correctly setup. Notably, Shadowsocks requires AEAD ciphers to be relatively safe, and you should never run Tor through it due to flaws in it's transport protocol. As for V2Ray, avoid VMESS protocol since it's is known to be vulnerable to probe attacks.
