The hardest part about such a toolkit is how do you know it is undetectable. Its quite easy to see when you have managed to bypass filters but what if the government has still detected the bypass and has put you on a list for illegal activity. Or what if they work out how to detect it in the future and go back through the logs to find all the people who used it.

I think this is a problem that needs a political solution, not a technical one. The protesting in HK is probably the best way to go about this.

This risk is generally exaggerated. Every once in awhile someone is fined for using a VPN or circumvention tool. Even that is rare, however, and the consequences are relatively benign.

The practice is also so common that it would likely be impractical to make the penalty more severe.
