VPN vs the Great Wall

I’ve been searching through old threads but can’t find anything current regarding VPN use in China. I have an in-law travelling there for business and they need to access stuff like email and the like, as well as stuff for university.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a VPN to use there. Any experience would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Do some searching around Chinese youtuber’s channels. I’m sure someone has talked about their VPNs. ADVChina comes to mind

Do you happen to know any good Chinese Youtubers?

I am looking roughly for somebody like “Rachel and June”, or “Aboard in Japan”. But in China

Last I heard, PIA works fine there (month ago).

I was in China this last chinese new year. I used shadowsocks to bypass the wall. Setting it up was easy and there’s a client android app for it as well as apps for windows and linux (only used linux client app and android).

Thanks to everyone who replied, we’ve got it sorted.

Would be very interested to know if SSH tunnels still work.

I think VPNs or an SSH tunnel might be blockable due to the protocols/ports used. Substratum might be interesting when it comes out of beta though…
