I understand that this is similar to Google Summer of Code, and it seems like people from all countries can participate.
Students: design a privacy/free speech tool CCP: WAIT, THAT’S ILLEGAL! (kudos to all punks in CCP-controlled territories finding new workarounds for surveilance and censorship)
Which tool are you talking about that got banned? Also, what does it have to do with this thread?
According to this Wikipedia article, Tor and some VPN services are blocked using deep packet inspection.
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.
