SiqingYu··on Re: It's time for us in the tech world to speak out about cryptocurrency

SiqingYu··on Building China: Rise of the Superblock

SiqingYu··on Ask HN: What is it like to run a VPN as a business?
VPN has a vast potential market in China, which has blocked most providers. I've used ExpressVPN for two years, and its connection is not always stable. I've also used the Lantern proxy with a premium account for a year. Somehow it didn't work most of the time. Maybe you can use more advanced technology and networking infrastructure to provide better service to such areas.
