Recent experience traveling China

[Emily Harris <emharris () VASSAR EDU>]

All:

Vassar has about 40 people taking a trip to China and we are attempting to advise them on a number of issues, including 
maintaining a safe and secure computing posture while abroad.

We are a Google school, and as you know, China blocks access to Google applications.  I am wondering if anyone on the 
list has recent experience traveling to China and using their own institutional VPN.  An article I read recently 
indicated that China is cracking down on corporate VPNs and many of them do not work.  Can anyone speak to experience 
in this realm?  We are weighing our options for recommendations to these 40+ people.  Thank you!
