Normally traffic flowing over VPN connections is secure because it is encrypted, meaning that the Chinese authorities were unable to detect what content was flowing back and forth over it.

Amazon Web Services is today announcing the limited public beta of Virtual Private Cloud (aka Amazon VPC), a service that essentially makes it possible for customers to create their own logically isolated set of Amazon EC2 instances to connect to their existing network over a secured VPN connection.
In 2009, Amazon launched the Virtual Private Cloud (also known as Amazon VPC), which makes it possible for customers to create their own isolated set of Amazon EC2 instances to connect to their existing network over a secured VPN connection to a datacenter.
If you'd rather not download the software, and would instead manually enter the connection details for your VPN, you can setup the VPN from the Windows control panel.
