re VS trojan

Well it's abandoned and experimental, and there are better ways to hole punch than what I did, e.g. using STUN and TURN. But yeah it could replace one ngrok use case, though I think ngrok does not do L2/3 bridges.

Also: I think technically this was my first Go program (https://github.com/binwiederhier/re), but that was so tiny that it doesn't really count. ;-)

A fellow Aussie currently in China, a Trojan [0] server has been working fine for the last week I've been here. I've got it hosted through a VPS (smaller provider) in LA. While it's a bit of a pain to setup, reliability has been rock solid and definitely useable - my laptop is connected 24/7 and I can access the unfiltered web, including video, just fine. V2ray also supposedly works quite well, but I haven't looked into it.

Normal VPNs that you can see ads all over the place like N*rdVPN won't work, period. The correct way is to rent a few servers from different providers, make sure their ips are not blocked, and build your own V2Ray or Trojan service first. The Chinese gov will not be able to distinguish your Trojan traffic from ordinary https traffic, so the only thing that's sus to them would be the fact that all your traffic goes to one foreign ip, but I've been doing it for a few years without officials knocking on my door so yeah I think it will work for you as well. I don't take responsibility tho, do your research.

(TrojanGFW)[https://github.com/trojan-gfw/trojan] and (V2Ray)[https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core]. But you need your own server to do it, and some few tweaks. For first-timer it might be quite confusing to configure, but you will understand how it works in the long run. You could also tunnel your connection to your server which then forward it to protonvpn (which what I'm doing rn).
