VPN recommendation 🇨🇳

Best VPN for China :china: that works on iPhone and MacBook?

Please only recommend what you tried yourself in the last couple of weeks. I know that the big players (NordVPN, ExpressVPN etc.) don’t work, so it’s harder than you might imagine especially if you never been to :china:.

You gotta buy a proxy and set it up urself. bing52.com is a decent source which I am currently using. Use shadowrocket for iPhone and v2ray for Mac to set up proxy

letsvpn was perfect for me in china last july

I think if you really need something that works you’ll need to find some Chinese teenagers online, you can download yeetalk and ask around maybe?

My personal suite: Self-hosted V2Ray Server (Vmess TLS WS CDN) + Quantumult X on iOS/MacOS/iPadOS + Suftboard on Android devices

Worked well the whole year without any issue :joy:

HetaoCloud (dash.hetao.pro) worked well for me the whole year. They offer permanent plan (which only expire when you used up all the data) for as low as $7, great deal for low usage user who doesn’t want to pay on a monthly basis.

If you’re having trouble using the website, contact their CS at kefu.hetao.pro, they allow foreigner to pay through Stripe and provide you subscription link without registration.

cheapest and best is star vpn using it for long time no issues ,

ExpressVPN is owned by a Chinese company

What about Astrill ?

Duyaoss.com regularly reviews various shadowsocks/trojan/v2ray providers. Best? Probably nexitally or amytelecom, but there are cheaper options.

Roll your own shadowsocks or vmess server. It’s the only guaranteed way to securely connect that isn’t shady or give you a lot of headaches.

Arent these shady? I find it a lot of websites are selling the proxy.

I second this, in china right now and its no problems at all

How do you go about that long? My vps doesnt survive a week each time. I use vultr.

That’s interesting :thinking:

Thank you for sharing that valuable information!
Btw I ended up again with Wannaflix. Paid $7.48 for a month and am super happy to this day.

Astrill works but the connection is slow. Also I find myself having to constantly switch between servers because it’s too damn slow or just stops working. Pricey as well. But hey it works in China.

Hmm. I’ve just visited that site and… Airport Speed Measurement? What?!

does shadowsocks still works in 2024?

Well, yeah. These things are technically illegal here so what do you expect?
