Yes, anyone can, anytime, but that still doesn't mean people have to listen,
and without their firewalls, obviuosly you could still just type in an IP
address.
Time to start exchanging copies of /etc/hosts, eh?
I just talked to missionaries who were in China. They used a VPN back to
a private person's home to check and send email. I suspect that there
would be a lot of this pushing Chinese Internet traffic through VPNs to
western nations. The tighter China squeezes, the slicker the Internet
gets. China wants western businesses too much to lock down VPNs, so this
type of traffic will spread. They can spin their wheels trying block
specific IPs, but it will only last for so long.
