Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

China blocks most IPs from foreign cloud providers like AWS or Digital Ocean. And if I am not mistaken, they can also block some VPN protocols (tor is not a VPN protocol, but it is very blocked, I don't know if tor bridge works), but I am not sure which exactly.
Do mainstream VPN providers not have a Chinese solution?
They have. I don't know what people are talking about in this post. It's bypassable easily, and the CCP won't kill you for it. There are so many Chinese using aVPN themselves to bypass GFW
What brand of VPN do you use to bypass it, many of my friends are there quite frequently, none of them have a mainstream solution for it.
Unfortunately it's still trial and error. Check out e.g Ovpn, Astrill, Mullvad though. You can always email and ask different providers as well. Though it's best it you set it up before visiting China. A HK sim through Airalo or similar also works.
Last time I was there, express does not work, and I heard proton also does not work. However, my mobile carrier by default routes all roaming traffic through UK, so that did work.
