How to unlock free internet when our network is heavily censored?

In some cases we cannot access or use a VPN due to the network restrictions.
In this new video we show how to bypass nation-wide firewalls using Remcos, taking as an example the Great Firewall of China.

In China, internet is heavily censored and restricted. Most of the websites and services used in other parts of the world are not accessible from mainland China.
In the recent times, more restrictive rules are being applied to the Firewall. For example, almost any VPN website is inaccessible, and some VPN connections and IP are detected and blocked.
Let’s see how can we unlock free internet when our network is heavily restricted and we cannot access or use a VPN.
