Previously, some friends questioned whether using a VPN is illegal. I just saw this case, which is the administrative punishment decision published on March 11, 2026. Using Clash (to bypass restrictions) for international internet access and browsing and using foreign software Titok and X is considered illegal. Although the penalty is not severe, only a fine of 200 RMB.

According to Article 6 and Article 14 of the "Interim Regulations on the Administration of International Networking of Computer Information Networks of the People's Republic of China," the maximum penalty is 15,000 RMB, and all illegal gains are to be confiscated.

Although it seems not very serious, the most important thing is that it will leave behind a formal administrative punishment result that can be publicly queried, which complicates matters.
