I use a VPN (Witopia) from my home near Hepingmen. No problems so far, though I did manually reset the DNS server values as recommended. Goddamn the chickenshit CCP!
Chickenshit is right, they know too well what has happened to their contemporaries in former communist countries, but they are only delaying what will come.
