It might be an error on my part actually or of their payment system. My attempt to purchase actually didn’t work (connection dropped while attempting to buy) so that might have been why, I was trying to connect while not having an active account. (My guess, no error info was given) FYI the reason I want to try and this vpn looks interesting, is they have an obfuscation layer added to wireguard, which I find think I’ve seen before. I’ll try it again when have time in a couple days, their support got back to me to fix the payment.

I’ve tried both their settings and can’t get it to connect, I’ll try from desktop tomorrow.

Never heard of it, I’ll try it and let you know. (I’m always on the hunt for good options as fallbacks and for research for clients)

I use both Mullvad and Astrill in China. A lot of VPNs don’t work here so it’s a feather in the cap for these that do.

Great comment, I don’t have anything to add just wanted to say so.

Voyager on iOS is great.

Welcome!

Yeah I think that’s a big factor, we’re just not a big target and relatively obscure.

Karma can be a useful trust signal, until it’s abused of course and gamified.

Chinese gotta use state-approved and controlled mainstream apps and media, or access foreign stuff via VPN. Homegrown, off the grid stuff like Lemmy only gets by as long as it’s obscure.

If it’s big enough and ornery (includes political content, rather than say just all cooking recipes and form) it’s liable to be blocked.

Oh interesting to know thank you. I nuked my accounts there so am not doing that, I guess.

Here’s another for your list:

• Use a VPN? Blocked from accessing it. (I try to get info from internet searches sometimes and they block me, I have to use a VPN because am in China.)

I think some servers do that? They definitely try to cater to niches.

Yeah it’s an easy fix to update the colors, logo shape can remain.
