?VPN obfuscation bypass… I’ve recently landed in China, Nord VPN used to be handy and actually work as a VPN in China… doesn’t seem to any more. I’m currently on an Android, anyone have any ideas how to connect with the outside world, aside from kbin?

    I’m guessing they have a blacklist of known VPN servers and block you from accessing them. One of the options is running a VPN server at your home outside of China.

    1. Ask your ISP to be excluded from their NAT and to give you a public IP address

    2. Use a DDNS service if your public IP changes regularly, so you have a domain name which always points to your current IP

    3. Install Wireguard VPN on your computer (or if you have a fancy router like Mikrotik run it on the router)

    4. Port forward a port to that computer/server

    5. Install Wireguard app on Android and connect. If done well, your data will be sent encrypted to your home, and you access the Internet from there.

        You could probably spin up a virtual machine on Azure/Amazon/any hosting provider and do the same thing, basically creating your personal VPN server in the cloud. Lemme know if you decide to do so and need assistance.
