tunneling through ssh has also stopped working consistently.
I don't know anybody over here who has a good vpn anymore. It's got to be hurting business that collaborate internationally - the net goes down for a few minutes at a time, throughout the day.
This looks more like the usual "bright idea" of some third rank guy. Next year the people at the top will notice, because more and more foreign companies are pi##ed, and they will revert the whole thing again.
I can't imagined that this will stay the same for long, especially now that the GDP growth is down to 9% and likely to go down further. Next year they will even loosen the restrinctions on real estate purchase again, to get the economy going.
Using a commercial (but certainly not approved) VPN on a home DSL: It works for a few minutes and then starts to degrade. I wonder if it's related to this new tactic. It's a little hard to distinguish from old behavior, unfortunately.
Yes. I believe they start to degrade VPN/SSH, amazonaws.com, google couple of months ago. Things may vary depends on which city you are and which ISP you are using, eg: pptpd barely can connect on my DSL.
exactly the same thing is happening to me. Used to be better a few months ago.
Honestly, this will be the primary reason I will leave China when I get completely tired of this.. Slowly getting there...
vpns have been horribly bad the last few weeks
