Q: every free vpn I have tried to use recently has been blocked
Is there a crackdown going on or something? Anyone else been having problems as well? If you havea free one, AND YOU KNOW IT WORKS for Android, please PM it to me. Thanks.

The chinese government increased the wall since september. Only paid ones are still working now.

I saw some silly shit they are doing out west where they cancel the data plans of people who are using VPNs and messaging apps like WhatsApp.
The free ones are the ones the govt worries about. Because those are the ones that vulnerable people would have access to.
If somebody has an international credit card to buy a good VPN, they probably aren't someone the government is worried about in terms of unrest. They're going to be a status quo kinda person.
You're better paying for one. Since the crackdown started in September the paid VPN providers have been working on fixes. The two I use both work most of the time now.

I can understand your frustration. The free VPNs don't have the same level of backing. Some of them may get improved to work round the GFW changes.

Might just be he doesn't have a foreign credit card.
He's not necessarily just being cheap but there might be no easy way for him to buy one.
u can try superVPN or betternet, free for android. been using them for a year now without any problems.
