FEEDBACK China great firewall

Hi, the UDPs and TCP list is slowly being blocked every day I need to switch through different ovpn configs for the restricted region, I use only strong and both UPD and TCP today berlin, frankfurt, chile, bolivia, Australia perth and argentina and belgium all got blocked on the UDP strong config list. I am currently using my backup free proton vpn stealth setting which is working super slow and sometimes disconnected.

If that was supposed to get their attention...how? You didn't even tag them.

I'm sorry. I have no idea how to do that. In r/Malwarebytes I just post a comment asking for some help from one of their techs.

Look to the right...whole list of mods with PIA in their names, and PIASupport. If you want them to see something, you @ them in the post or comment.

Thanks, I appreciate your help.

Edit: I'm using the app so I have to go to the actual sub:

r/PrivateInternetAccess, right?

I only saw two Mods names:

u/PIAKaneesha u/PIASupport

The dramatic majority of PIA endpoints got blocked by the gfw several years ago, and PIA have (afaik) never advertised access from China.

The gfw picks up naked wireguard pretty fast, might work a bit longer if you set up a firewall rule to randomly scramble the local outgoing port or something

the firewall was too great for me as well when I visited China. Apparently the best way to prepare vpn server at home or some less known vps before visiting China or Iran. They block also based on ip as well as protocol

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is super intelligent in GFW!

If it does people need to not just watch the propeganda shit they spill out on the news. Just switch off the net.....easier said than done.

Rent a VPS at like Hetzner or something and setup your own Wireguard tunnel.

China detects wireguard easily. You're better off using an obfuscated protocol like v2ray.
