XRay / XTLS-Reality / VLESS work rather fine, and is said to be very hard to detect, even in China.

I followed [1] to set up my own proxy, which works pretty fine. More config examples may be helpful, e.g. [2].

The great thing about China's Great Firewall is that really good options to circumvent censorship have been around for a while. Was waiting for someone to bring up XRay! Alternatively, here is a great write up of using V2Ray[1]. May be worth OP looking into, as a blogger I found noted[2] is an alternative to a VPN, and may work.

Also sing-box [1]. I don't use it for its primary use case of censorship circumvention, but rather for some highly complex routing configurations it supports.

My use case consists of passing some apps on my Android through interface A (e.g. banking apps through my 5G modem), some apps through US residential proxy (for US banks that don't like me visiting from abroad), and all the rest through VPN. And no root required!

It's wild that GFW triggered creation of this and nothing like it existed / exists.

im curious, isn't ALL of your traffic appearing to be to just one website the most obvious giveaway?

*ray clients typically allow configuration of routing. So you can send only blocked stuff through the tunnel; or, in reverse, send some known-working stuff (e. g. local domain) direct. Also works as adblock.
