gm the censorship resistant social media nostr requires fully tunneled vpn to access from china because most of relays and clients are blocked by GFW.
and you're compromising your whole terminal's internet connection especially for the china based services.
so practically there's no way a user in china could frequently use nostr like they could access Twitter via eg, partially Sockes5 proxy, if they don't build their own relay and aggregation server.
ironically, standard vpns like Nordvpn is totally not accessible because they don't use any obfuscation for their WG alike tunnel and it's easily blocked.
Mullvad is great and accessible even tho the GFW is clearly easier to block its traffic.

Orbot and private bridges. More reliable than any open VPN.

What about Amethyst with its integrated Tor proxy?

oh I did not know that. πŸ₯Ί I thought the Nordvpn obfuscation works. So that is not the case? I've been with them for 8 yrs and counting 😬 though have not been in China yet. It's good to hear how others experience it esp heavily monitored country like China. ty for sharing.

I don't know enough about Tor, but I'll ask anyway: While I'm too scared to run a Tor exit node, I wonder if we could all help the Chinese people by running what I might call a Tor "entry node"? The idea is that we all run something that can help the Chinese to access Tor, by forwarding connection...
