From North America, and I’m going on vacation in china for a few weeks. I wonder if anyone knows if I’ll be able to access any of my self-hosted services over zerotier while I’m abroad?

Edit: To be specific, I’m hoping to ssh into my machine over zerotier in case I need to fix something and back up some photos to my home NAS via rsync or something

Look into shadowsocks, or just normal vpn.

Pandafan was quite reliable for me. You might also be able to diy with hk, sg or sk vps instances, but it was a lot of work and a misconfiguration will cut you off.

Normal VPN doesn't work because they don't mask themselves. Even Tor bridges don't work because they are blocked.

Shadowsocks is like 2018 advice, go directly to xray and forget about legacy software

Yes, xray is better. Forgot about that. I think there had been a couple newer ones.

The thing with gfw circumvention is that even older approaches work surprisingly often, as detection methods change and often detection depends on the amount of suspicious traffic. I had most success with a more conventional setup on a vps, but that was more for testing out stuff. Found commericial providers to be more reliable.

VPNs work surprisingly often from what others tell me. They only block these occasionally. I think astrill and express often work. Just know that the ones that work, probably have chinese govt access.

Yes, tor never works.

They worked for me most of the time. They cut off after like an hour of use. So I just switch between them.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

So why not just use that just works all the time? I don't want my internet voice call to cut in the middle and have to switch VPNs
