Dis you even read the linked section? It says that some VPNs are blocked, but the Wikipedia article itself describes how to use VPN and Tor from China. Not a word about them being legally banned as you initially claimed.
Anyway this is completely off topic, so stop spreading these baseless rumors.
Sorry I think there’s a misunderstanding, I’m not @TeaBeast . I didn’t claim it’s illegal to use them, @TeaBeast did. But yes I read the article, and it says they block some VPNs and that Tor is blocked partially. I didn’t say they can’t be used, just that it’s blocked. To be honest though, I expected much more to be banned, I had heard about this ‘Great Firewall’ for years and thought Chinese people have no way of circumvending it, but the article shows that it’s not the case. Still pretty bad since they censor the internet, but what I had heard before was really exaggerated.
Sorry my bad, I didnt pay attention to the usernames. Yes from what my friends told me, its really common for people in China to use VPN, particularly if they want to use blocked sites like facebook or twitter.
No problem. Yeah, the main problem I can think of is when people use a random free VPN and their data gets in the hands of some shady advertising company or something.
