Postbar, microblog, forum and other related content have been taken off the shelves due to enhanced control over vpn
At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Notice of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Cleaning up and Regulating the Internet Network Access Service Market, and decided to clean up and standardize the Internet network access service market nationwide from January 2017 to March 31, 2018.
This is a "disappointing" news for those netizens who often like to use VPN "wall climbing" means to "go abroad to see". Because this means that they can no longer unscrupulously "flip around".
Since the issuance of the Notice, VPNs that do not meet the requirements have been blocked in succession. Apple also recently took measures to remove the VPN application from the Apple App Store in China. He replied, "We must obey the law when doing business."

We found that this is indeed the case by searching Baidu Search, Post Bar, Weibo and other forums and communities for information about "VPN" and "Crossing the Wall". Under strong control, many people can no longer use VPN to "cross the border" as before.
However, we finally saw on a forum that some "omnipotent netizens" are still making various efforts to "climb over the wall" by some means:
VPN belongs to remote access technology. In short, it uses public networks to set up private networks for encrypted communication. There is no fault for legal use. At the press conference held by the State Council Information Office on July 25, Zhang Feng, spokesman and chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also said, "In January this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Notice It is mainly to better regulate the market behavior, mainly to clean up those who operate without certificates and do not conform to the standards, which will not have any impact on enterprises and individuals who comply with the laws and regulations. "
"Crossing the wall" refers to bypassing the corresponding IP blocking, content filtering, domain name hijacking, traffic restrictions, etc. to access network content. The news obtained by climbing over the wall is mixed, and some even violate national laws and policies.
At the regular press conference, Wen Ku, director of the Department of Information and Communication Development of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said, "The development of the Internet in China must be carried out in accordance with Chinese laws and regulations, and some bad information should be regulated in accordance with Chinese laws. Therefore, with the development of the Internet, new regulatory measures must be taken to keep pace with new situations.".
We also believe that with the further implementation of the Notice and the further improvement of the law, the Internet access service market in China will become more and more standardized.
