IMO, the safest route for an individual with tech competency is to setup a small instance server in the cloud outside your country and use ssh port forwarding and a proxy to get at information you want.
For an example of a proxy service https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-squid-proxy-for-private-connections-on-debian-11 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-...
That will give you a hard to snoop proxy service that should completely circumvent a government blockaid (they likely aren't going to be watching or blocking ssh traffic).
- asqueella 1y agoAdvanced enough censors (who have DPI) do block or slow down ssh, e.g.: https://serverfault.com/questions/1122015/ssh-blockedfor-foreign-vps-ip-not-blocked https://serverfault.com/questions/1122015/ssh-blockedfor-for...
- cogman10 1y agoThat's a pretty strict censorship that basically locks your digital infrastructure into your country.

- asqueella 1y agoWell, mimicking China's GFW is seemingly the objective of some governments. But they are also able to allow some light (text-based) ssh usage and still prevent proxying.
- Havoc 1y agoI guess that's where the slow down part comes in. I'd imagine you can slow SSH to a snails pace and it'll still work for basic CLI use
- jychang 1y agoThat hasn't worked for china since before 2020, you're years out of date.
