The internet as you know it is imminently ending

It's possible. Control is the way of the future (though I despise it) and those who resist will probably be the hippies of the future hosting their own sub-networks. That's my thought on the not too distant future

The sub-networks can be blocked. It all can. The only reason VPNs are a good way to get around the Chinese is because they're all so corrupt that they're willing to overlook the people with the money to pay for such things. Here, however, all outbound packets are to be inspected by your ISP, so unless you just invent your own outside internet altogether, you're not getting anything
