VPS market for Chinese users may be affected by police actions

It seems there are already 2 people from different provinces in China have been punished by local police for using vpn since 2019
This kind of thing seems never happened before until the last few days
It may be an alarm that the overseas VPS market for Chinese users will no longer prosperity
And maybe we should not be surprised when visitors from China try to make orders with fake profile

Just in curiosity, what is the punishment for using a VPN?
One of them was fined 1000 CNY ($150 USD)
The other one seems have just been subpoenaed and no adjudication yet
How could the police know that you used VPN?
F China
Maybe the ISP is watching network traffic and the police found the protocol characteristics
A VPN is only private in name.
Wasn't there a supposedly business for sale advertised on LET a few weeks ago?
Owner of the profitable business claimed his activity was providing VPN services to the Chinese market or something...
If anyone remembers what the thread URL was precisely... looks like either a new law got passed recently in China or the authorities simply decided to enforce the rules.
I found the adjudgment archive for the one who was fined

The law which Invoked by police was passed in 1997
The domain name made me alerted.
Rice runes.

Thanks though.

It is a domain name of the outsourcing IT company which work for the authority.
You can find the same domain name on police's official wechat account.
Just use Google Translator
They could also be given negative social points.
China is using likes/dislikes to grade their people now.
The end is nigh.
no. people will try harder with every tools to know the real world. never look back.
as long as the gov want money instead of total control of their people like north korea.there will be ways to across gfw.
it's not 100 years ago when people were blind and stupid dreaming for a powerful emperor lead them fight with everything they suffered.
people now have learned the only way is fight for themself. not someone who claim to be the only one will save them.
although something happens here like prolonged term or amend of the constitution. people were banned to talk about this. but it is saying It will cause more harm to stop the free flow of people’s thoughts than to Stop that of the rivers. thousand years ago in China.
Try copy and paste the content to the translator
The gov used to want money but now they look like want power more
The gov used to want money but now they look like already have much money and want power more
They seems spent a lot of money on the diplomatic war against China(ROC) these years
See my post earlier above.
Completely missed it.
The adjudgment seems issued in 2019 as it's title states
Maybe the guy was caught on Dec 27 and got adjudicated in 2019
zhudidnothingwrong
Right, but that's CHINA
Damn. Such control is abusive towards the chinese people. Government doesn't want the chinese to find anything from the outside. Brutal dictatorship and censorship.
This seems to be a fake website. It looks like a government website on open data, but is hosted at a .com domain. A real Chinese government website is hosted under the gov.cn domain, like the Shaoguan Public Security Bureau: http://www.gdsg110.gov.cn/sgsj/index.html
It looks weird but it has been proved to be true.
The same domain was found on its verified wechat official account
It seems the domain is owned by its outsourcing IT company
No, this hasn't been proved. The information about punishing VPN use is claimed to come from Shaoguan Public Security Bureau, but I couldn't find it from the real government website.
Let me prove it for you
