You can’t inspect encrypted packets, what China does is network traffic analysis - examining headers and figuring out patterns based on metadata. They don’t care much about what’s being transmitted if using a VPN alone is enough to land you in trouble.
Excuse my ignorance, but in this case what would be the benefit of having the wireguard server run inside a Docker? Wouldn’t running the server directly on the remote VM achieve the same result?
Given how easy it is to set up a Docker-based wireguard server on a small remote VM, I suspect this will achieve very little.
Deep packet inspection is a thing, AFAIK people in China uses a software called v2ray to counter that.

i think US carriers do the same thing to counter unauthorized hotspotting so even using a VPN didnt help

Yeah it would do the same thing. Using Docker just makes it easier and faster to deploy
Exactly. Setting it up via Docker is like a 2 minute operation.
I run everything on bare metal the way god intended
What’s the difference?
One less layer of abstraction.
I was being facetious … but about 3%
I know you were joking, but fuck that, never going back to that hellscape.
It would be better to use a time gated version of Manx to produce a stack elevated free server.
