  "textContent": "palatablesalve8462:\n\n> should I take RIGHT NOW?\n\nBuy a spare and cheap second phone for china domestic apps. Don’t expect VPN leaks to not happen unless you absolutely know how your provider has configured sing-box/xray/Mihomo for you (some providers rely on Clash API to push app configs or just prebundle configs into their forks). GrapheneOS has fixed a ton of VPN leaks, but i don’t think you should use it in China as it’d draw attention.\n\nI’ve tested Mullvad and iVPN in 4 prefectures already and can confidently say that, at least for now, QUIC isn’t blocked. You might need to request an IP override from Mullvad. Alternatively, i can give you some private suggestions regarding VPN providers that are working in China if you’re comfortable with setting up sing-box/clash apps.\n\npalatablesalve8462:\n\n> eg Should I wipe all my devices and change all my passwords?\n\nIt’s common for Chinese border patrol to inspect foreigner devices if they travel to lhasa, for example. If you need to do remote work - just set up a Rustdesk connection beforehand. I wouldn’t bring personal devices with the info to China, you’ll just draw unwanted attention to yourself.",
