Not sure how well this works in China, but here’s the process I use in my country:
- Install Shadowsocks
- Buy a SOCKS5 VPN and set it up in Shadowsocks
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+Pin Cursor - Select
Open User Settings (JSON) - Add this snippet:
"http.proxy": "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080",
"http.proxyStrictSSL": false,
"http.proxySupport": "on",
