    It looks weird but it has been proved to be true.

    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

    The Wechat Account is @gdgafz and it has certification of Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department

  • How to proof that gdgafz is official wechat account?

    Please give me the link about punishing VPN use from the official website of Shaoguan Public Security Bureau (http://www.gdsg110.gov.cn/sgsj/).

    The official website of Shaoguan Public Security Bureau seems not publishing any announcement of administrative penalties

    All such adjudications for cities in the whole province seems archived in here
    http://www.gdgafz.alldayfilm.com/reconsideration.html?type=1

    And this website is owned by the company which is running the verified wechat account of Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department so I think it should be a trusted source

    None of your "so-called" proof can be traced back to an official website of the Chinese government. So far you have proved nothing.

    What about if the online archive services which whitehouse's verified twitter providing is linked to www.whitehouse.alldayfilm.com ?
    That is the same thing here.
    You can find the exactly same domain www.gdgafz.alldayfilm.com on its verified wechat account

    Www.whitehouse.gov has a link to its twitter account. That is good enough for me. I don't need a twitter verification. Which official website of the Chinese government has a link to the "verified" Wechat account?

    Just click this pic on that website

  • If any of this is remotely true, there would be serious implications for any Hong Kong residents who happen to visit the mainland. Their crime? Being in possession of a SIM card that just so happens to have unfiltered internet due to the way how cellular roaming works.

    Then again, this happening in the Guangdong province is making me skeptical of this since that's considered to be the most liberal area of the mainland since authorities there don't seem to give a flying hoot to what Beijing demands.

    Maybe you mixed up Guangdong and Hongkong
    There is nothing different of that between Guangdong and other provinces in mainland china

  • I bet there are millions of Chinese people using VPN or some sort of tool to access blocked websites from time to time. Yet only very few of them got caught and prosecuted. I assume that guy might have commited some sort of cyber crime and tried to use VPN to hide his identity. Otherwise I don't think the police would even bother to step in.

  • Kiwi83 said: I assume that guy might have commited some sort of cyber crime and tried to use VPN to hide his identity. Otherwise I don't think the police would even bother to step in.

    But the adjudication only states his use of illegal channels for international networking
    If there is any real cyber crime a small fine will far from enough

  • eoleol Member

    This might be a separate case then I guess.

    An iron curtain has descended across the country and every one who uses VPN in China is in danger. Their last chance is to buy a ticket and board the Noah's Ark hidden in the Himalayas. I geuss?

    It's probably a KPI thing--as the Chinese new year drawing near, the police and the authority needs to keep up hardworking appearances.

    Absolutely. Could be an isolated incident. Seems he was using Lantern rather than a VPS or VPN. Maybe they physically examined his phone for unrelated reasons rather than monitoring his traffic.

  • How to make affiliate money like a Pro (really work):

    Step 1
    Write a post featuring Beijing University suspended a beautiful female student, for using VPN to access blocked hentai anime website.
    hashtag : hot girl, top university student has weird fetish, VPN, hentai anime

    Step 2
    Embed your aff links of all popular VPN providers in your post,

    Step 3
    Spread your fake news on every platform you can think of, including lowendtalk.

    Step 4
    Profit.
