Can you use SSH? If so, can you SSH tunnel?

Furthermore, if ExpressVPN is allowed, could you connect to that and inner-tunnel to your own VPN?

SSH Dynamic forwarding (ssh -D) to do application-level port forwarding and configure browser to use remote host to do DNS lookup was 1 of the earliest techniques to bypass the GFW and was countered by the GFW long time ago. The wall can easily detect non-administrative SSH traffic and block it. So I won't recommend using it, it is not reliable.
