Contrary to popular belief, IP blocking isn't the most common way VPNs are blocked these days. Additionally, GFW isn't the same in all of China. Different networks, different citie…

A VPN is not an ISP, at least as Canadian law (currently) is concerned. ISPs are required to store IP assignment logs, VPNs are not. Additionally, VPNs (in Canada) cannot be compel…
