>The GFW blocks WireGuard, right?

~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)
