It is probably the most reliable yeh, tho spending time here I’ve grown increasingly aware that the great firewall is more than aware of this vpn traffic, even if it’s wrapped up to look like normal traffic. They periodically will seem to ‘dial down’ the internet, especially at politically sensitive times. They are fully aware great swathes of the populace and visitors use VPNs, and they choose to allow it. They’d rather control and monitor than inspire even more opaque channels.
