Hi all,

American traveling to China for IETF, and making my tech prep plans (bringing a laptop, phone, tablet, kindle, and steam deck). I won’t bias with my current plans too much, but I do already run Linux+LUKS and GrapheneOS.

For those with experience, what tech prep would you do?

Thanks!

    I currently have a PIA account, Wireguard server running in the homelab, and can spin up OpenVPN in Linode, so I should be good here (I hope!). IETF hotel and venue also have “unfiltered internet”, as that is a requirement of them agreeing to host there.

      You should be good. China doesn’t block ALL VPNs. Just typical consumer VPNs commonly used for climbing the great firewall of China.

      Their blocks are aimed towards low hanging fruits. Blocking it all would be detrimental to industry.
