We recently deployed MPLS to our office in Shanghai. Not sure what paperwork they had to do, but their email resides in the US now. Their internet connection still goes out through China Telecom so the government can still monitor their web traffic.

A-yup. It is technically illegal to set up a virtual
private network
without the necessary paperwork. I'm not sure how strictly it's enforced (many things in China are only enforced if someone in authority has it out for you), but I suspect if you're running an actual business in China it is better to comply with their
regulations
than to roll the dice and risk getting busted. There are a
few people
on the list that run and/or work at Chinese datacenters so I'm sure someone will chime in with their experiences soon.
Thanks. After searching based on the details from Les and finding nothing (in English) I have defered to our non-technical Chinese manager.
So if any one on the list has done this properly, I would like to talk to them.
That being said, I will be going to China in a few days for a short trip. Is there any hopes of checking my email? SSH or imaps? Ideas?
