      Yeah the problem I have with those is that they are mostly run by Chinese, be it on- or offshore, and they can be compromised or extorted. And any service that accepts payment via alipay is sketchy in my books.

        It’s opensource, You can get a vps and run your own, very easy and the speed is enough to watch 4k youtube.

          I had a shadowsocks server on a vps, was dead after a few weeks. Hosted on AWS Hong Kong (before China took over). They blacklist IPs very quickly.

            SS on AWS is easy to be found and blocked, try Trojan, Hysteria v2, V2Ray…, I had one of V2Ray on GCP hong kong, and it lasted for a very long time.
            Usually GCP and Azure has the best connection to CN.

              Interesting, thanks! My astrill subscription is still running for a couple months, but will test it as a fallback.

            Have you ever been to China? I have been lived in China for many years, actually no much complains of my very own experience so far.
            And I’d been to US, Indonesia, Thailand…and the worst experience I had is in US, each time I visited there, there were gunshot incidents happened nearby, and homeless people, bad smell on subway…I am not saying all US places are like this, I only visited CA, some places are cool, but I definitely won’t go out alone after 8pm in the dark.

                What makes them a “troll”? Their comment was exactly the same as yours - subjective opinion based on their claimed experiences living there. Neither of you provided any factual evidence. You sound like someone who wants to live in a bubble where anyone who disagrees with their world view is a “troll” and instantly blocked. Ironically, quite a similar outlook to the Chinese government you so despise.
