I saw some silly shit they are doing out west where they cancel the data plans of people who are using VPNs and messaging apps like WhatsApp.

 

The free ones are the ones the govt worries about. Because those are the ones that vulnerable people would have access to.

 

If somebody has an international credit card to buy a good VPN, they probably aren't someone the government is worried about in terms of unrest. They're going to be a status quo kinda person.

You're better paying for one. Since the crackdown started in September the paid VPN providers have been working on fixes. The two I use both work most of the time now.

Hotwater:

I can understand your frustration. The free VPNs don't have the same level of backing. Some of them may get improved to work round the GFW changes.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
