Your comment is equally hilarious from the point of view of a native who lives in China now.

idk if i'm smarter than the GFW but every time I rolled my own censorship-circumvention tool it worked well, even the most lazy way worked. I've never used any VPN provider. And FYI even unchanged WireGuard still works, though there seems to be some offline traffic analysis looking for that, so once a week you'd wake up to your VPN connection broken and had to change ListenPort on the server.

The only annoying thing for me is: f- you AWS, egress too damn expensive!
