Comment on Server access from China

Unauthorized VPNs (non government approved) are illegal in China. If a business needs their own they can get approval but they have to apply for those exceptions.
It isn’t really enforced, probably especially so for non citizens, but if you do something they don’t like it is something they could use against you.
You would probably be less breaking the law to just directly open up SSH and access that instead of tunneling through a VPN. Even though SSH can do tunneling of its own.
You mean "copy the photos you have taken but you not want in your device if you would get checked on your way back out to a server in a hostile country " ?
99.99% if the normal tourists do not have a personal server to store their photos. They use a commercial cloud. By using your personal server, you behave differently from 99.99% of the tourists.
" Why do you keep your images to your personal server and not the cloud? What do you have to hide? "
