!chapotraphouse@hexbear.net will love this.

After a discussion that lasted for way too long, it appears that they like censorship.

They think that this is a perfectly reasonable argument: https://youtu.be/QFgcqB8-AxE and that the government knows better and thus information should be suppressed.

Absolutely ridiculous...

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/QFgcqB8-AxE

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

This has been happening intermittently since 2012 or something.

Not wg, cause it wasn't popular then.

HTTP\HTTPS tunneling etc are not that hard, ya knaw.

Or encrypted GRE, ffs.

Can this actually work? If you run Wireguard on a non-default port, is it possible to tell that it's wireguard?

Chinese firewall can detect it, AFAIK

Gfw is mostly picky about anything udp or where both ports are unknown. Also if the known port (server) isn't from a licensed block.

Basically there are heuristics that lead to either a reset, a temp block, or a perm block, but it seems to vary from time to time a lot.
