  "textContent": "LetsVPN is the most popular closed-source paid proxy app, and it has operated with little interruption largely because it cooperates with the authorities. Use a popular international proxy/VPN profile over IPv6-only connections; this is a major Great Firewall blind spot, since the GFW still relies on CentOS 7 and out-of-path routing, with little IPv6 censorship.\n\nWeChat is notorious Tencent software with multiple past scandals involving rootkits and privacy data collection. Avoid Chinese apps whenever possible. eSIM traffic still goes through local carriers, so using it with a proxy is the right approach. A burner phone is unnecessary; aside from mobile apps, the authorities have few ways to compromise your device.",
