Q: What's wrong with assdrill?

Is it just me or has it been pretty crap these past few days? No matter what location I choose, Asia, Europe, West Coast USA, it's just crap. I can get about 2 mins of youtube vid at most before it dies.  Open V.,   P..  N doesn't seem to want to even connect most of the time.

I always mix between New Zealand, West Coast and Scranton. If I had to rely on one for strength and reliability it would be New Zealand.

That's what scares me away from signing up long term, I know the second I do China will start screwing with it.

- Most traffic routes going out of China are slowed down no matter what. (theoretical)My theory would be that the bandwidth is distributed in priority to traffic inside China, then to the outside.

So, if you are using a VPN, obviously all your bandwidth is going out, therefore looking shit.

- OpenVPN has been blocked for a while using a technology they call DPI, which essentially allows to recognize this protocole's signature and directly block it. Now, patches have been released to correct this, but it's a cat vs mouse story.

- (theoretical) It seems like those last months, they are able to kill off any "steady" connection to a remote server that they consider as "suspect" (IE, generating bandwidth, encrypted, or else).

 

Add this to the usual keyword/domain firewall.

I usually use Denver for no other reason than it usually worked well but I've noticed over the past couple of weeks that all the US servers have been slow or simply not working.  I've been using Korea, Oz and the UK. Surprisingly, the UK ones have been great as they usually suck for me!

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
