From North America, and I’m going on vacation in china for a few weeks. I wonder if anyone knows if I’ll be able to access any of my self-hosted services over zerotier while I’m abroad?

Edit: To be specific, I’m hoping to ssh into my machine over zerotier in case I need to fix something and back up some photos to my home NAS via rsync or something

Case against you for doing what exactly? Just don't break the law. It's not hard. They're hardly going to care much about an average American going on holiday unless he intends on causing problems, a disruption, or potentially has useful information

Extremely privileged of you to think that one can simply live a routine life thinking they are safe, while immigrants in the US aren't breaking the law and still getting rounded up into concentration camps.

China doesn't have laws enshrined in its constitution to protect immigrants like the US does (yet the Executive Branch barely give a fuck about the law), so they (China) can do whatever they fuck they want. Not defending anyone, just illuminating it since I am ignorant af

I actually see China and the USA as the same level now. Difference is that the USA doesn't have cool railway infrastructure and whatever the heck is going on in Chongqing.

I don't really think China is going to want to cause an international incident, especially during a tourist drive. Although it can be risky if they want to take hostages.

Or would be a useful hostage to trade for a Chinese person held in OP's country.

Fair enough to be fair. I did make sure the passport I was using to enter China was that of a country with no political drama happening. It did allow visa free entry though as well, so that was nice.
