I recently tried to scale the Great Firewall again for a Udacity promotion. That didn’t work out, but I refined my Google-access setup, which made the effort worth it. Sharing the details for anyone still wondering how to reach Google.
Statement: Accessing Google is strictly for learning and constructive purposes.
A Method That Still Works
v2ray + WebSocket + HTTPS
Quick Deployment Steps
- Register a domain name.
- Rent a Vultr instance.
- Billed hourly
- Supports Alipay
- Pick CentOS 7
- I recommend the Japan region for lower latency
- Follow my README to deploy.
Once you get the hang of it, the whole process takes about 10 minutes.

Final Thoughts
- Without Google, it’s harder to learn—especially for engineers.
- What works today might break tomorrow (think whitelists and policy shifts). That’s just how it is.
- Solving this sharpens your grasp of HTTP, DNS, Docker, Shell, and more. Definitely time well spent.
