Many of us on the mainland ("us" being the type of people who would read HN) have switched to SSH proxies over port 443. Sshuttle [1] is highly recommended.
I wonder how much longer till Chinese avoidance VPN tech needs to resort to stenography in images to transfer data. Masking data as cat pictures would be slow but not automatically detectable.
China has enough outsourced development teams that blocking SSH would be, I'd think, a measurable drag on that economy. We SSH over 443 as a "just-in-case" since it looks alot like HTTPS.

Interesting that SSH is getting through still.
