Can this actually work? If you run Wireguard on a non-default port, is it possible to tell that it’s wireguard?

Chinese firewall can detect it, AFAIK

Gfw is mostly picky about anything udp or where both ports are unknown. Also if the known port (server) isn’t from a licensed block.

Basically there are heuristics that lead to either a reset, a temp block, or a perm block, but it seems to vary from time to time a lot.

Wireguard through gfw worked fine when I tried it. The other client did have a static IP and static Port tho, that probably helped
