Can someone pls help solve the issue of vpn for chinese user

hello thanks for quick reply
i tried to setup vpn in qubes (latest version) by following this: How to setup OpenVPN + Fedora(AppVM) for OVPN
when i got to the point of vpn username and password (by the way, is this the same as our vpn account credential?) then i tried to connect with vpn, it does not work. most likely case it is blocked in china, so i can not connect to server?

before able to connect vpn, we need to get around firewall of china first right?
