ExpressVPN didn't work that day either, so I pretty much confirmed the problem was not with the VPN services. Frustrated, I signed up for the third service, ExpressVPN. Near the end of my 3 weeks in China, I had a day where I was having a lot of difficulty connecting to either of the two VPN services from two different residential networks. Since I wanted to have a second service as a backup, I signed up for 1 month with VPN Secure, as it was one that received good marks in this rather extensive review of VPN services:

VPN Unlimited offers a lifetime subscription for a very reasonable price on Stack Social, so I purchased it. I first signed up for VPN Unlimited based on a recommendation by Scott Hanselman. If you are able to connect to the VPN and get over 1mbps, consider yourself lucky. If you are working in China, ignore all of the sales and marketing claims and just set your expectations very low. I can attest that feature didn't seem to make any difference.

One I used claimed to have 'stealth mode' to avoid detection by The Great Firewall. For the last question, you are on your own to test dual VPNs.Īll of the VPN services seem to claim that they are the best, have a bunch of servers worldwide, and that they are fast. So the first two questions should be easy.

My impression is that virtually all of the VPN services will claim they work in China, and the ones I looked into all had Windows, iOS, and Android clients. I didn't bring my Android device with me, so I don't have any feedback about using them on Android.

I used the services on iOS and Windows 10. Just find a few that seem to have a good price, the features you need, and some positive reviews. If you ask 10 people which VPN service they use in China, you are likely to get 10 difference answers or recommendations.īased on my experience, it doesn't really matter which service you choose. This is not a recommendation or endorsement of any of these services-they are just the three that I semi-randomly tried, out of the dozens and dozens of offerings. Here are the three VPN services that I purchased and used: In this post, I'll share which VPN services I used and discuss my experiences trying to use them in China. In that post, I mentioned that using VPN services in China to get past The Great Firewall and access resources in the US was frustrating at best. In my last post, I discussed some of the things I learned about working remotely while travelling in China.
