Foreign Student Dealing with China's Web Filtering of US Websites

[Bruce Heldman <heldmanb () QUEENS EDU>]

We have a foreign student who'll be returning to mainland China since our Fall semester is online only.   Prior 
experiences he's had with the Chinese government's Web filtering suggest he will be blocked from browsing various US 
sites required for his course work.

Are there any options that would help us with this situation?

We've considered:

1.      Granting him VPN access, but I believe non-university wouldn't be tunneled.  It would go through his default 
gateway.

2.      Assigning him a VDI workstation.  He would then connect to this university VDI workstation (with or without 
VPN) and browse from that station.

Any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated
