In general none of the disclosures of what GFW is doing g should be seen as evidence that western governments do not do the same thing. Hope nobody is drawing that conclusion.

Western governments do not routinely block VPNs.

  • Western governments effectively control 99% of consumer technology, and hack whatever else they can't have. VPNs are a false sense of security going up against a nation-sized adversary like the US.

  • Different phylosophy: why block VPNs when you can monitor them. Most Root CAs are in US.

    • Certificate transparency is mandatory in browsers; interception certificates appear in certificate logs to be accepted. Have you found one?

      Edit: OCSP has been ended.
