Most people are familiar with China’s widespread internet censorship. As VPNs are blocked there, it’s hard for people in China to access the “outside world” online.
In this article, we share our personal experiences of trying to run a VPN service for users in China, as well as the general quality and speed of the internet there.
This is the first in a series of articles that dive deeper into the issues faced by internet users living in digitally oppressed regimes.
  • Is the Great Firewall of China a Great Myth?
  • Making requests from China
  • Verify the blocking technique
  • Packet loss is 56%. Seriously?
  • Why were the VPN APIs targeted and blocked by GFW?
I didn't know that China had a firewall, interesting, thanks for sharing.

Which firewall?

To what the publication mentions, and the article on the website "the great firewall" is a bit complicated to understand.
The “Great Firewall” as we know it is causing the DNS server to return an incorrect IP address for Mysterium’s domain [https://testnet.mysterium.network/], which results in traffic being diverted & black-holed to unreachable machines.
This technique is referred to as DNS interference, DNS poisoning or DNS spoofing.
