?VPN obfuscation bypass... I've recently landed in China, Nord VPN used to be handy and actually work as a VPN in China.. doesn't seem to any more. I'm currently on an Android, anyone have any ideas (kbin.social)

I'm guessing they have a blacklist of known VPN servers and block you from accessing them. One of the options is running a VPN server at your home outside of China.

Ask your ISP to be excluded from their NAT and to give you a public IP address
Use a DDNS service if your public IP changes regularly, so you have a domain name which always points to your current IP
Install Wireguard VPN on your computer (or if you have a fancy router like Mikrotik run it on the router)
Port forward a port to that computer/server
Install Wireguard app on Android and connect. If done well, your data will be sent encrypted to your home, and you access the Internet from there.

@tarmarbar thanks for the info. Unfortunately I'm a little bit late on that as I'm already in China, but I'll give it a go next time, thanks
