And there is a university net, it's slightly less blocked than public nets.
They've charged someone for selling VPN online, but charging users is effectively unprobable due to the sheer number, but since Chinese laws are generally vague, judges and prosecutors are easily influenced and arbitrary on party security cases, they can always pick couple guys off to make a statement or set an example, like Sabotaging Computer Systems.
Not even people in Qinghua (number one uni in China, if you don't count central party school) I know, know of anything that amounts to that.
The very same thing with MPLS, and allegedly "physically uninterrupted" links to HK. They also have GFW on them.
There is nothing that amounts to "officially permitted VPN" in China. That's a myth.
The only thing that amounts to that are microwave to HK/Macau, HK SIM, VSAT, or a cable across Sham Chun, and all of this is being actively looked for by police and three letter services.
