Unfortunately, the majority of VPN websites are also blocked in China. To ensure continued access to your Twitter account, your best option is to download a reliable VPN while you’re outside of China’s borders. While you should exercise caution if you decide to use a VPN with Twitter within China’s borders, you likely won’t be prosecuted for doing so. The common practice is that China fights VPNs and Twitter by technologically blocking the services, and not by chasing after foreigners who use them....

Technically, a VPN can assign you a US IP address, which would grant access to the US library of content on Max from any location. But using a VPN this way goes against the HBO Max terms of service, and could be seen as copyright infringement in some instances. The WizCase team doesn’t condone this behavior. If you’re still interested in using a VPN to stream on Max, it can be difficult as Max uses advanced VPN-blocking technology to protect its license agreements....
