I don't want to be jailed
How do they get around https?
API access under the threat of countrywide bans?
There's a new Cyber Security Law that will take effect from 1/1/2019. I'm not sure if this would answer your question. The new cybersecurity law bans internet users from organizing, encouraging or training other people for anti-state purposes. Businesses will have to provide users’ data to the Ministry of Public Security upon receipt of requests in writing, in cases where any infringement of the cybersecurity law is being investigated. Foreign businesses will have to open a representative office in Vietnam and the government will decide the duration for which such businesses must store users’ data in Vietnamese territory.
Foreign businesses will have to open a representative office in Vietnam and the government will decide the duration for which such businesses must store users’ data in Vietnamese territory. Welp rip 95% of the internet to Vietnamese people.
It seems like only Google and Facebook will have to move their servers. I just hope that everything that I'm using right now won't have to have one representative office once the law comes into effect. Because the chance of Facepunch/Reddit/Pixiv, etc having a local office here is absolutely 0%
Guess this means no more Vietnamese facepunchers Sorry jill
Damn Vietnamese took my logs
*EXAGGERATED YAWN*
Is it possible to bypass this with a VPN?
They probably don't have a Great Firewall of China (yet), so just changing your DNS server is potentially enough if they enact blocks. It's very difficult to get rid of all VPNs while still connecting to the internet at large, but if they really enact a whitelist and are really strict about it, they may be able to cut off access otherwise.
My brother is literally going to Vietnam for a month on Saturday, are you fucking kidding me.
lol calm down, absolutely nothing of note is happening.
Why would they even bother with Facepunch lmao there's like what, less than a handful of Vietnamese here?
