No need. Shenzhen is probably the most VPN'ed city in China. Most of companies/universities have VPN connection(like the one i am using now...)

I was reading on Hacker News several years ago that the Chinese government was slowly winning the war on the VPNs. What's the story lately?

While it's purely anecdotical, in my experience vpns are blocked differently depending on where you are. It seems that vpns always work better in Shenzhen...

Maybe they figure people closer to HK are more aware of what goes on on the outside anyway, so they don't put in the effort to block?
