China manages to block XMPP pretty reliably in my experience. I've tried both AWS hosting and self hosting and they will work for a bit but eventually gets blocked. You can see from the logs that they just probe the server to get an XMPP bad auth response and then shut it down. Next time I am planning to set up an auth proxy on a different server entirely and really lock down the actual XMPP box and see if that makes any difference.
