Q: A Reverse VPN?

Just curious, has anyone ever heard of a VPN that would set you with a China IP address?

 

Censorship aside, there are solid video sites with tons of movies on the chinese internet, which don't work abroad or in HK...not saying I would buy one but has anyone ever decided to jump the great firewall going the other way?

Yes, I think it is called a VPN?! You just choose a Chinese IP instead of a non-Chinese IP

Yeah, I've seen some VPN services propose Chinese IPs.

But if it's for movies and TV, torrents these days are just a blink.

 

Finally moving to HK?

haha i wish.

 

Nah just curious.

 

I actually like baidu for TV shows. I'm sure there are better ways that a more sophisticated person than me can figure out though

The question is, how much would the 5,7 billion potential customers outside of China pay for this service :)

I have a Chinese friend who has an IT company. We have discussed this and he is considering setting this up to offer to Chinese abroad. Interestingly enough the demand is for Chinese series and news.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
