Anything that helps users bypass the Great Firewall will also help Hong Kong, certainly by letting people on the mainland get uncensored info instead of just the Party Line & possibly by preventing monitoring of HK communications. Tor & Psiphon are the best-known such projects, but there are lots of others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psiphon
Could we help out by getting Tor, Psiphon and/or other tools incorporated into Linux router projects and/or Freedom Box? https://freedomboxfoundation.org/ Could we go further? One of the GFW's blocking methods is to send out bogus TCP reset packets in both directions to break the connection. Should all routers connecting to China drop those packets? Should end user systems like Linux distros have an easily set option to ignore them? Anyone want to write a Best Current Practice RFC?
