The caveat is the one the vendor prints itself: 'IPv4 is blocked by GFW by defaults, please use IPv6'. The 20-port rule is confirmed in the vendor's own knowledgebase with an example range, and the same article says IPv6 answers on any port. What is not established: whether the 20 forwarded IPv4 ports carry UDP, because the knowledgebase article read today mentions only TCP conditions and never names UDP; the accepted card types beyond UnionPay; any authorisation hold; and whether ByteVirt LLC appears in the Missouri state register, because every route to the Missouri Secretary of State search timed out or returned the search form rather than a result. The LLC name is corroborated by an allocated AS holder name in RIPEstat and by a PeeringDB organisation record, which is stronger than a website claim but is not a state register.
