VPN

Just wondering if it is possible to have vpn working in china’s hotel WiFi or apartments.

Has anyone tried?

Thanks

Yep. I’m doing it right now. Running my own wire-guard instance on my home network in California. P.S. running your wire guard server as a separate small computer (like raspberry pi) will work better than on a router. I did get an IP blocked once, so I switch my traffic to port 443 and it’s been fine since.

Soon I will look into using v2ray to obfuscate my traffic.

However, any normal VPN hosts that you think of are very likely blocked or very likely to be blocked soon. So unless you are running your own server on the otherside, don’t plan on it working.

The first server I ran was on digital ocean and it worked for 3-4 days.

AmneziaWG is a vpn protocol that uses Wiregaurd under the hood but remove the identifying info from headers and obfuscated the traffic in a way so that it hard to detect it is vpn traffic. It reportedly works in Russia, China, and all countries which block VPN.
But problem is this is not supported in GLInet standard software. You have to install stock openWrt and then you will be able to install AmneziaWG client.

It won’t work. Openvpn and wireguard are blocked.

I’ve been using it this way for years without any issues. However, it’s not the standard WireGuard or OpenVPN protocol.

Hi,

Visiting China soon. How did you change your traffic to port 443? I currently have WireGuard connected to my home network in USA.

Is there any recommended way to access my home NAS then? I’m planning a trip to China in 2 months. Currently I am accessing my home NAS via WireShark

In china? How do you set it up?

I have an asus router with Astrill applet. I use ZeroTier on my laptop to access my local devices. So in essence, double vpn.

Clash + Selfhosted V2Ray

11

So… using 2 vpn will work?

12

You can use wireshark instead of ZeroTier

13

Internet ↔ Asus router with Astrill VPN ↔ glinet router with wireguard vpn ↔ devices.
I connect to an LA server and get about 150 ping with 80/30 Mbps.

14

So Astrill is your initial layer to get through the GFW and then you run nested wireguard inside, and then zerotier inside that?

15

Once you get thru GFW, you just need another only one more layer to access. I use ZT but you can also connect using WG to your router too if using it as a server.

16

Okay. So just using ZT with a 0.0.0.0/0 managed route? That part makes sense, I just wasn’t understanding where wireguard was coming in as well.

17

I believe some use their home router as a wireguard server. You won’t be able to connect unless your initial layer can get thru GFW.

Understand and agree. Just saying you can use Asftill as the penetration layer and then route all traffic from there through a GL home “server” router using Zerotier instead of WG if desired.
