Operating from China
 

posted a thread on another board, but really need some more info:

I'm moving to China for several months, is it safe enough to work from there?

I have nothing connected with China (no websites registered for my address in China, no Chinese traffic, not going to cash cheques in China), just going to use their internet connection...

what do you think?

i will be here when many others come to this thread.

I would think that net access will be your biggest challenge.

I don't know, but am curious to know too.

make sure you don't type 'freedom' in the SEs...they don't like democracy over there.

bad idea, very bad idea.
Most of the traffic in china is filtered through there isp's. They will find you in a jiffy. Lots of sites are unreachable from there. GFY can not been seen in china.

theres a guy here who opened a chinese hosting dept some 2 months ago, cant recall his name, search youll find it he will help

Very bad idea, all internet traffic is monitored.

"big yellow brother is watching"!!!!

I'm pretty sure it's the worse fucking idea of your life.

I read an article about the crackdown on porn going on over there ... you don't wanna end your life in chinese prison over a couple months...

they will execute you

Amen, in China, you're guilty until proven innocent, which rarely happens. They determine you're guilty after a 12 minute trial, take you out back and give your head a hot lead injection :Oh crap

A friend of mine was there for 1 year, to study. He is also working in adult and tried several ways to make adult sites work, but he gave up after 1-2 months. Its really not easy.

How long did you live there? Or do you have this know-how from movies? :)

Call this a great excuse to explore the non-nude niches.

I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole over there, unless you don't mind being touched with a 10" pole in prison.

:pimp

sounds like a bad idea

Here is some advice I was given when there was a plan for me to move to the United Arab Emirates earlier on this year.

"build an ssh tunnel(with real IP address) using your own server from another country and use that connection for browsing and submitting.

Something to look in to.

Scotty, that's what I came up yesterday after thinking awhile.. thank you

thanks guys

It all depends. No where is definetly safe.

I've been doing business in the U.A.E. for most of the year. I never heard anything about having to do this. Saudi Arabia, sure, but not the U.A.E.

Anyways, stay the fuck outta China with the smut. Not a good idea mang.

well, if you are still traveling, they won't really touch you
since you are an American Citizen or Citizen of another Country

China put any Adult Webmasters behind bars for life if that what you want to do, don't think about hiring those people to do adult related work

I mean, they don't execute nobody for this but lifetime jail time is nothing special

for foreigners, there is no issue but guys on this thread mention a good point
they do monitor the traffic and some sites may be reachable

but for fast connection, hmmmmm... good luck depending where you are going
not all cities have ADSLs for rent...they have ISP Cards..its like calling cards, you pay a card on a number of minutes to use

if you need broadband, hmmmm....it might be more difficult since you need a DSL modem....... I won't go to some expensive hotels and use their connection, and you are very protected in an expensive hotel for an foreign

travelling and using their internet connection won't cause any trouble
just don't stay there and operate your sites like a resident and you are fine

they do not touch Citizens of Other Country that easier.....its political incorrect... you are just travelling ...unless you have something else in your mind

:winkwink:

I hope you read up on what it's like in a Chinese prison.

I hope you know how to use proxies...

OMFG! I thought I did some dumb shit.

You REALLY need to rethink this. They can and will jail you (12 years+) just for being a webmaster. They have done this several times to people already this year.

Work in China with porn in ANY way = GO TO JAIL!!!!!

I second that, and I'm not joking.

I didn't actually go in the end I turned the contract down. I just did some digging about when the contract was offered and I came up with the Emirates run ISP and how everything was run through them. I even tried accessing all the sites I would have needed through a few UAE proxies I found and they were all blocked. GFY included. :)

So your saying you can access all the porn you want from there no problem? What ISP are you signed up to?

Here's what I see. LOL.

A few years ago we used to get a load of signups from both locals and ex-pats in the U.A.E. then when they started blocking everything that put an end to that. :)

That is the biggest BS in my life
 

I am relocating to China shortly myself and I can tell you that the Taiwanese adult webmasters are doing porn from China. If you need help hook up with me. I will definitely be pleased to talking to ya.

watch this movie first before moving

Don't listen to the fear mongers.

Be wise about it. Don't go around telling people what you do, don't start shooting content and more importantly, use proxies and no one will be the wiser.

What city are you going to anyways?

10" in chinese prisons? I dont know man ^-^
