All my VPNs seem to be blocked now in China. I buy my VPN through a commercial provider like Astrill. All 12 of their servers are dead. I need to access Google services for work and nothing is working. Nothing. TLS handshakes are failing.

Anyone can PM me info for an emergency VPN?

UPDATE: I was instructed to switch to TCP from UDP and I'm able to connect now. All UDP is blocked. TCP isn't. Not sure why. My networking knowledge isn't good.

Shouldn't your company provide you one if you're there for work?

It's my own business. What used to work stopped working after the leadership change here.

Ideally looking for a small private non-commercial VPN that no one knows about.

If it's something you want to try, I can host the browser bundle for you. If so, let me know what system and architecture you're running.

Thanks. I gotta do more research on this. I have no idea what tor is or what I need to get it working. Of course I was going to read about it from your link but... blocked.

The browser bundle is dead simple to operate. It's a portable Firefox, with Tor built in, and you just click and run. Your personal circumstances make it a bit more difficult, so you'd have to jump through more hoops. I don't know the particulars regarding China.

Thanks!

I'll look into it. I emailed my VPN and it seems that all UDP is being blocked. TCP is ok and I was given instructions to switch.

Regardless, I'm going to set up Tor. Always need a backup or a primary when things like this happen.

As an FYI

Recommend that the details go across via PM.

While interesting, if he is having such problems, posting them (solutions) could get AT blocked in China. While it might block the spammers; it would also hurt the legit members.

The Chinese secret police don't fuck around. Once they capture FBB the american spy, he's gonna receive waterboard torture and put into hard labor camp for years and years. And that will be the last we'll ever hear about FBB. Dibs on his camera stuff.

You need to go over and claim them.

And that will associate you with him. :cool:

That will be last we hear of Baked then. :p
