I’m seeing stuff about China’s blocking VPNs everywhere:
New York Times, the BBC, and of course, Slashdot.
Interesting tidbit: OpenVPN over TCP on port 53 apparently works. Not sure why it’d be like that, but maybe it’s something unexpected from infrastructure put in place for DNS poisoning. Possibly unrestricted, but mirrored to the DNS servers, which drop the connection when it’s discovered to be TCP instead?
