Q: Anyone else experiencing problems with Astrill today?

Did the government finally shut it down?  Or is it just having technical difficulties?

My VPN (a cheap Chinese one which is  usually ok) has been running really slowly for the past week or so. I wonder if they're cracking down.

What means: 'assdrill '?

Scandinavian:

I find this comment humorous. Since my wife left for work this morning, this is the second best thing on a very BCD, the best being the fact that I have a decent flow of coffee.

Yep my astrill won't log in today either. It's been terrible recently anyway. Going to change VPN provider when it expires.

My Astrill expired and I haven't renewed it because it constantly stopped working and wasn't worth the money spent given all the days I couldn't access it. Astrill is too big and popular now so it constantly gets attacked by China. On that topic, anyone know of any other VPN that's cheaper than Astrill but reliable? Thanks!

if you do make sure you PM it and not post it here

Astill?  Never heard of it... No, no, no.  Never heard of it.  Doesn't exist as far as I know...

If and or but the gov't "finally shut it down", it's most likely they heard about it on this very board, thanks to a certain anonymous post...

Can't you guys exercise a little discretion?  The GFW has ears... Sheesh.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
