soon I will be in china
from an internet users point of view this presents enormous issues

A. how to bypass the GFC
VPN's are widely used, but are becoming less effective by the day
not having facebook etc might be a real downer, but on a serious note having access to unfiltered news could be important to avoiding regional unrest

B. how to secure my data in-country from state and non-state hackers
its not like I have anything worth stealing, but my data is linked to everyone elses.

C. how to get by day to day when the programs I normally use arn't functional
china throttles the shit out of a lot of sites like google maps, sites that as a traveler I NEED
local alternatives exist no doubt, but I would have concerns about the security of my data

D. using phones with chinese networks
apparently phones arn't SIM locked, or network locked
but the plans or credit is apparently region locked or something? I'm not sure

anyone have experience here?

Great firewall uses deep packet inspection. You'll need a service like torguard to bypass dpi. Regular VPN services won't work.

Your data is safe and won't be stolen unless you install malware. Despite how spooky the west might portray the Chinese they can't defy physics and steal your data from thin air

Google maps doesn't work in China, for the parts that work it won't be accurate, there will be highways where rivers are and other common mistakes. You'll need to use Baidu maps. It has street view and pretty much 90% satellite view coverage. Basically as much coverage Google maps have in the US.

Roaming will work between close districts. Your biggest problem will be buying a sim card because they require an ID now. You'll need to go to a tiny shop and pay extra for a black market sim with a pre-registered id. 1gb cost roughly 10usd.

thanks f for the info

I'm most concerned about my internet being spied on when using chinese wifi at hotels or airports, also MITM

this may should like a foolish question, but why can I not just use my passport as ID and buy a normal sim card?
would that be inadvisable?

I don't need to hide anything I'm doing, I just want to use the services I'm used to and not have my shit fucked with

get a VPN. It'll solve all your security concerns.

Only SOME shops in airports accepts passports, and they rape you in pricing. Corporate local stores requires a chinese ID.

A. Set up a server at home with SSH and tunneling enabled. If you have a dynamic IP that changes regularly look into dynamic DNS services.

B. Use 4096-bit keys for said SSH server and disable password authentication. Use a passphrase on your key. Make sure you never connect to the internet directly.

C. The sites you want to use will work properly once you're connected through the SSH tunnel.

D. The plans are prepaid, you pay in advance for a certain amount of data.

t. went to China last year
