I have seen some customers have to use custom urls and place their cloud connectors for China outside China in another region.

we implemented custom urls and chose not to use the main org.com dns name, rather disposable addresses basically.

A few months/years ago, *cloud.com was blocked but they found an agreement with the government. Now it's just installing the Cloud Connector, use Gateway service and have your users connecting to your https://*.cloud.com URL yes. I have production environment like that currently running.

China is 1000% more reliable since vanity URLs for DaaS was launched. We'd oftern see something flip DNS in region so *.cloud.com would come back as facebook or some other nonsense.
