Mullvad also has hidden servers they give access to on request if you can't access the regular ones. Can help with government censorship etc
Good to know, but how can you safely request them without giving away that you're using them?
What method does the request go through? What happens when those proxies get blocked by the censorship firewalls too?
I just used email lol, and I don't think it's possible to hide that you're connecting to a certain IP. And if they get blocked too I'll email them again D:
the ministry of truth in china would be monitoring where those emails are caming and going at minimum.
In developed countries where people don't get arrested for wrongthink mullvad is great, I'm just saying, be prepared if you plan on going to a place with a censorship firewall
You can sign up for a western email service from within china and use it to communicate. China's gfw is based on a whitelist so all you have to do is find a relatively obscure provider
