They worked for me most of the time. They cut off after like an hour of use. So I just switch between them.

Shadowsocks is like 2018 advice, go directly to xray and forget about legacy software

So why not just use that just works all the time? I don’t want my internet voice call to cut in the middle and have to switch VPNs

Yes, xray is better. Forgot about that. I think there had been a couple newer ones.
The thing with gfw circumvention is that even older approaches work surprisingly often, as detection methods change and often detection depends on the amount of suspicious traffic. I had most success with a more conventional setup on a vps, but that was more for testing out stuff. Found commericial providers to be more reliable.
VPNs work surprisingly often from what others tell me. They only block these occasionally. I think astrill and express often work. Just know that the ones that work, probably have chinese govt access.
Yes, tor never works.
