Ffs you do not get disappeared for using vpns especially personal ones. You can install vpns that circumvent firewalls as long as they are blessed by ccp and they are sold using wechat. For non compliant ones it's the same. It's you who misunderstands how authoritarian systems work, noone tries to nail you for doing something semi-illegal, you will be dissapeared for non-conforming not for exploiting system.
VPN's aren't illegal in china, and they don't go about random people who use them. Unless you are very vocal and high profile person no one will black bag you in a country of billion people, lol.
Yeah, you can look up how to setup hysteria2 and xray. Additionally you need to understand that firewall is different in different places, in some places like big cities you can even use plain openvpn (during daytime), in other more rural places almost everything is blocked.
PS is really powerful, actually using it is one of the worst experiences ever, it's just horrible in every way possible. After writing a few bigger scripts in ps I've literally swore to never touch it again except for interactive stuff and one-liners.
Thanks for clarification!
