As per tons of report and official response, China is not only blocking SNS and google. They are now implementing a GFW upgrade to kill basically all VPN service. Rumour has it that the upgrade will be completed by April this year.

Personally, I could only access bitcointalk via VPN. If that's killed too, any other options?

Did China really blocked Google ? what Search engine does chinese people use then
Anyway , I don't think that you could much if VPN's are blocked , but you can try to buy a cheap VPS and use it to connect to bitcointalk?

They always trying to isolate themselves from outside, the government always try to keep their people follow chinise tradition.

People in there have to search harder way to access blocked website

I got an e-mail in August from FightForTheFuture.org that prodded me to install a new program called Lantern.  The subject of the e-mail was "If half the people who get this email do this, we could end censorship forever".  I don't know if it applied to / would work in China or not, but maybe it would be worth looking into.  So you don 't have to search for it and potentially find the wrong thing, the e-mail ultimately linked to getlantern.org.

Censorship is a hot topic in China now-a-days. On one hand it places china citizens in a protective bubble from such "western threats", on the other, well, no-one sane would like it. Kinda reminds me of a parent grounding the child from hanging out with some friends. This is the part in the movie where the villain is going to stomp on the main character's hands whose fingernails are digging deep into the dirt, the torso and legs pointing towards the chasm below.

It's hard to understand from the articles, are they detecting and blocking all VPN connections, or just those from certain well-known providers?

P.S. Here's some interesting discussion of other things you could try: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7586775

They can't block all vpn service, they can only do that if they blocked all encrypted transmission. You can buy a vps that is based outside china and connect to it using a teamviewer.

What you said dosen't make sense , Why do he have VPS then connect to the VPS using TeamViewer instead of connecting Directly using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) simply ?

To me teamviewer is more secure than remote desktop protocol. RDP is only on windows, Teamviewer is available in many platforms, like windows, mac, oracle, linux, android, ios and many others.

I think, this would include Skype as well. Is china planning to go back to the stone age ?

How's VPN a Western threat?
