Is there some reason why this only happens from 7pm? I would have thought that the net would either be censored all the time and nothing would ever work, or else a VPN would work always.

If I had to guess, they reduce the censorship during the day to lessen the effect on businesses. In the evening it's primarily going to be people using the internet at home, which they'll want to control more tightly.

Also in 9-5 China time most western people are not online. But in the Chinese evening Europe wakes up and then slowly also the US comes online leaking into the Chinese morning.
