	        Hi,
Random one, a customer is regularly going to China on business, one problem with this is that Great China Firewall is blocking business apps (Teams, Zoom, etc). Having an internet search it seems that VPN is the way to go but that is not without issue as the China Firewall is good at blocking them. I just wanted to know if anyone on here has any experience of using DrayTek SmartVPN from China to UK and if they had any problems/recommendations.
Cheers
Rob

	        I know others who have success using Wireguard as that can be configured to use any port including common ones a typical firewall policy would let through.

	        Thanks for the info.  I was thinking SSL VPN might sneak through if I keep it on 443
