    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).

    v2fly/v2ray-core version v5.1.0 User Preview offers an experimental variation on Shadowsocks outbound on the client. A comment dated January 14, 2022, explains: "This kind of censorship can also be temporarily evaded by only sending printable characters in the first 6 bytes of data. This pull request adds experimentReducedIvHeadEntropy option to Shadowsocks outbound. This option request V2Ray to remap the first 6 bytes of IV to printable characters. Enabling experiments have security implications. It is possible for anyone on the privileged network path to identify the protocol when this experiment is enabled." Only the client needs to be updated to implement this approach. Precompiled binaries are available at https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core/releases.
