If you’re headed to China, you’re entering a world quite alien to the computing environment you find in the free world.
Tip-to-toe surveillance. Chinese-subverted versions of popular Internet services. And the Great Firewall of China, keeping you from accessing the sites and servers you take for granted.
Is there any way out for tourists?
Yes. There are a variety of options that are available:
- International SIM roaming card
- SIMs from Hong Kong
- Google Fi
- Self-hosted V2ray
…and others. We’ve to a thread open on LowEndTalk where people are discussing options to help moderator @netomx on his upcoming trip. Need help or have advice to share? Head over to participate!

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox
I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
