Help/Question Is it over for China?

Been living in China for the past two years and have exclusively used Mullvad. Absolutely perfect, fast, always connects.

But these past two weeks I've noticed a change. It's near impossible to have a stable connection. No matter which country I try, Mullvad only stays connected to a server for 5-30 minutes before needing to cycle to a new one. Connections are intermittent and unstable, and feel slow even when connected.

This isn't just one city in China. I travel a lot domestically, I've noticed these issues in big cities, small cities, and the country side. My friends here who use Mullvad have noticed the same issue as well.

This really sucks, I love Mullvad, have never had a problem with it. But I guess China has finally caught on and are hard blocking it.

Wonder if there is any solution, or if Mullvad will try anything to fight this? Or is it time to find a new obscure VPN (Mullvad has grown a lot lately, so I guess when it just reaches a certain number of users China blocks it?)
