-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was in China last year. I was able to create a VPN connection in the US with no problem. Most of the web didn't work, even SSL. SSH was completely blocked as well, which is why I was surprised that I could connect via VPN with no problems. This was in Beijing.
