From North America, and I’m going on vacation in china for a few weeks. I wonder if anyone knows if I’ll be able to access any of my self-hosted services over zerotier while I’m abroad?
Edit: To be specific, I’m hoping to ssh into my machine over zerotier in case I need to fix something and back up some photos to my home NAS via rsync or something
People posting here don’t realize that CN gov IDs and allows certain traffic to get rerouted through a certain VLAN so they can do DPI and record every packet through a beefy expensive tap device to analyze the telemetry later, and potentially build a case against you. If they so choose. And they likely have the capability to trivially decrypt TLS.
Don’t bring in any tech, don’t access your personal net back home, don’t expect any level of actual privacy or good intentions. Just do your business and keep your digital digital persona minimal while there.
Case against you for doing what exactly? Just don’t break the law. It’s not hard. They’re hardly going to care much about an average American going on holiday unless he intends on causing problems, a disruption, or potentially has useful information
Extremely privileged of you to think that one can simply live a routine life thinking they are safe, while immigrants in the US aren’t breaking the law and still getting rounded up into concentration camps.
China doesn’t have laws enshrined in its constitution to protect immigrants like the US does (yet the Executive Branch barely give a fuck about the law), so they (China) can do whatever they fuck they want. Not defending anyone, just illuminating it since I am ignorant af
I actually see China and the USA as the same level now. Difference is that the USA doesn’t have cool railway infrastructure and whatever the heck is going on in Chongqing.
I don’t really think China is going to want to cause an international incident, especially during a tourist drive. Although it can be risky if they want to take hostages.
Or would be a useful hostage to trade for a Chinese person held in OP’s country.

Fair enough to be fair. I did make sure the passport I was using to enter China was that of a country with no political drama happening. It did allow visa free entry though as well, so that was nice.
Whoa. Anywhere to read more about this? Had not been paying close attention, didn’t realise that was so starkly the case.

If you are truly skeptical of one of the world’s largest cyber threat actors with an enormous economy and large population of cyber security experts is or isnt capable of trivially decrypting TLS, I don’t know how else I can convince you that they are capable.
Except they didn’t say they were skeptical, and they even asked for more information. I don’t know why you got hostile in your reply to them. Because they didn’t just accept what you said as truth without needing sources?
I like skepticism, it’s healthy. I like it when everyone questions and doubts in order to find the truth. It can go too far sometimes and you get anti-vax morons and flat-earth dipshits, so there’s a level of curiosity that, once it becomes unhealthy or unusual or the answer is clearly out in the open/conspicuously apparent, should be punished.
