A comment on 2023 Paid VPN Relationship and Corporate VPN Ownership Map. Parent comment
~1-2 years ago: yes Currently: I don't know.
I worked for a web company and we were getting reports that our websites looked wrong/bad/messed up from within China.
So we needed an IP within China to confirm.
1st attempt: SOCKS proxy = worked, and confirmed that GFW or something was screwing up our content. (simple SSH tunnel)
2nd attempt: Wireguard = could not establish a connection to wireguard server hosted on same ISP/co-lo in China as the socks proxy.
3rd attempt: Windows RDS = worked
We ended up using RDS as that was easier for our testers to use. (despite the training I offered)
