In plain words
If you set up your own line abroad, or use an international channel other than the state's public channels, the police can order you to stop the connection, give a warning, fine you up to 15,000 CNY and confiscate illegal gains. For those doing it as a business, the investigating authority may handle it as the crime of illegal business operation (非法经营罪), with up to 5 years in serious cases. This item is about selling and setting up nodes. For personal use, the penalty goes no higher than a warning plus a fine.
