Q: VPN no service
it seems our vpn is having trouble now started yesterday,no service
anyone else having trouble?
The reality is that if someone, say a government, wanted to kill vpns then it would take about one minute to enter the protocol onto a switch which would propogate to every router in the network in a short time. Job done. That is not going to happen. Too many businesses rely on them.
As mentioned above, there is a lot of tin foil hat talk going on regarding this topic. It's a sensitive time so a general throttling back is routine. Most of the vpns experiencing issues are freebies or cheapies.
There may even be a more practical reason. With the plethora of junk vpns out there perhaps the market is just being cleaned up and the flood of encrypted traffic being thinned out. Let's face it, if you want news from home you don't need a vpn. If your email (who uses if for private purposes nowadays?) needs a vpn then set up a forwarding to outlook or something. It's simple.
I live quite well and have access to basically everything i need. I couldn't give a shit about Facebook or twitter. You just have to use a little nous. It's really not hard.

iWolf:
Sorry mate but have a downvote for bitching about a 1st world problem when you have lived here so long and know better. And have done nothing to simplify your situation.
I suspect it's because you're using one that gets mentioned a lot on Chinese forums.
Or perhaps the amount of money you paid for it.
oppo R9 not apple
ben,glew:
i also use an oppo R9 and use expressvpn no problem on laptop and phone
Sorry to tell you but i just opened rolling Stones site on my phone and no problem on my phone. ..i never have used a vpn
Stupid people keep blabbing about which vpns they're using on open forums
Hotwater:
Take your tin foil hat off! The CCP aren’t stupid. They have a mass of IT wallahs who know about all the various VPNs. Do you think they can’t put “VPN” into google. All this “don’t mention your VPN on forums” is pure bollocks.
Englteachted:
Going on forums talking about which ones are still working lets them know who to target or re-target. I've seen it countless times, people blab, then a few weeks to a couple of months, problems.
LastTargarean:
Yes, I think they cannot type VPN into Google. Well, they can, but it won't load.
V~P~N? What's that? An "Express" way to travel the web ?
Chinese make money off of VPN's an dit makes it easier to monitor foreigners communications

Something is up, 3 friends not related to this site asked me and told me about this same prob.
iWolf:
19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China kicking off 18 October or thereabouts? Once that's over, business as usual until the next big deal.
Are you not expecting this?
The VPN blocking has been on many websites. China is cracking down and hoping to block all VPNs by February 2018. Yes we've all experienced this before but they seem a little more serious this time.
any body try Express VPN >>>???
