Got any suggestions for software?
I run openvpn normally and I've tried shadowsocks but neither have gotten through the vpn blocks I've tested against.
Tor. It's free, it works, and there's nobody to sell you out when the cops come knocking.
I'm looking for something self-hosted for secure access to my LAN, not just to reach open internet unfortunately.
If you're just looking for remote access, openvpn on port 443 should (in theory) be indistinguishable from normal https traffic.
Wasn't Russia able to block traffic from Tor?
If they did, I haven't heard about it. China has been trying and failing to block tor for decades though, so I kinda doubt Russia managed to beat them to it overnight.
Both astrill and protonvpn sashayed straight past the great firewall when I visited. There was some free Chinese vpn, greenvpn I think, that worked too, but was slow.
