In response to Re email reply to another poster (Concerned Teacher)

How about you keep your mouth shut, you pathetic little wumao goody two shoes twat? Even if it was against the law, it is a law that some selectively choose to break, just like some will bang hookers, stay in hotel rooms with their unmarried girlfriends etc. I would day that I do not feel too guilty.

Regardless, VPN use is actually technically legal in China (although the legalities of it are slightly complicated), in fact even departments of the Chinese government themselves use VPNs in order to protect their data from eavesdroppers. If VPN use was made illegal in China, several foreign companies would leave the country very quickly, because the place doesn’t half have a bad reputation for corporate espionage, lol.

Several large multi-national corporations actually use their own in-house VPN connections to protect their private data and intellectual property, not just to simply get on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. In fact, I can imagine that the likes of Intel and Shanghai Volkswagen would actually not be too pleased if their expatriate managers and engineers were found to be fannying about on Facebook during working hours.

As for me, I often use a VPN client (Hell, I have 2 subscriptions with different providers) and I couldn’t care less what your opinion about that is. Even if what I am doing is somehow technically illegal, I won’t worry too much. At least, when it comes to my visa, I have a legal working visa and am not reliant upon dodgy business and tourist visas for teaching, unlike yourself. Scurrying back and forth from H.K and risking potential ballache just isn’t for me, lol.

As for everybody else, there are even perfectly good reasons to use a VPN back home these days as recent revelations have shown.
