Now is another good time to remind people of projects like Streisand[0], who make setting up censorship avoiding tools simpler that they otherwise would be.
Streisand in particular provides various tools for masking VPN traffic as HTTPS (Stunnel/SSLH et al) that may prove useful during crackdowns like this. As well as setting up things like a tor bridge.
One note, there is currently an issue with the Digital Ocean provisioning, which prevents it from completing initial setup, but I have easily and successfully setup instance on Rackspace and AWS recently.

- jlund 12y agoThe DigitalOcean provisioning issue was recently fixed, and creating new droplets is working properly. Making the mirroring segment more resilient to failures is high on my list of priorities. Thanks for the positive feedback!

- tomjen3 12y agoUnless you are presently in China that seems like overkill - kinda like having a backup plan for your photos that can survive a nuclear war.
- netheril96 12y agoUh, I am a native Chinese in China. This would look like overkill just one year ago, but today it seems more than likely.
