    A VPS, a virtual private server is, to put it shortly and simply, someone else’s computer, that they rent out to you. The way you’d be circumventing the VPN ban is that VPNs are specific services that change your apparent location, and they would be targeted by this law. A VPS, that is to say, a small computer in a foreign data centre, would not be hit by it, because most of their use is to setup a website or a web service, or a Minecraft server or so on. So you would be essentially setting up your own private VPN (contact someone tech-savvy) using a service that the state cannot regulate without unduly constraining cloud capital.
