I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.

Comment on a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking?

Many of the prominent https VPN protocols are for evading the great firewall of China. OP had that as a requirement, so it is not an unreasonable assumption.
If you are evading less locked down firewalls, then you don’t need as stealthy VPNs.

Where the fuck do you get this stuff?
hides as regular HTTPS traffic so it’s not blockable by Firewalls
From OP’s post, of course. If OP does not need to evade firewalls that are that aggressive, then they should have settled for a less stealthy VPN solution, as many of these HTTPS proxy solutions have performance and usability (can often only proxy TCP traffic) tradeoffs.
Most Chinese exits through port snooping. And you really need to be on a Chinese corp network to know - if you take your western mobile there they do very little blocking.
I’ve been fairly successful with most China corp networks letting me out and in to self-hosted WG server on port 123.
Because if you’re roaming it creates a VPN, basically through the Chinese network
But it you want a lot of data, like for YouTube, you’re not going to want to pay roaming rates

Russia has harsher blocks than China, meanwhile.
