Classic Streisand effect - attempts to restrict content access inevitably lead to widespread adoption of circumvention technologies.

seems to be working in China. While many Chinese use VPN software, many don't bother with the friction and are fine just using rednote and friends.

VPNs barely work in China IME. NordVPN didn't work, for example, and my self hosted VPN would often get disconnected.

For a self-hosted VPN, you'll need to use a protocol that is specifically designed to be resilient to censorship. VLESS, for example. Things like WireGuard and OpenVPN are very easily detected.

Ah ok, that makes sense as I just hosted openvpn.
