Q: Need the name of a good, reliable VPN working nowdays in China

Hi felows.  Due to family sickness back home, I need to access some social sites for posted updates on a 104 years old relative there.  I am talking about Facebook, Twitter, etc.  The head doctor is actually the grandson of the sick person, and one of the nurses is the granddaughter, and they will be posting updates every few hours,

I look for a VPN to access those websites a few times per day with reliable performance.  I am told Express VPN is good and reliable, does anyone out there has any experience using it?  It goes for $ 100.00 / year

Many thanks

Don't post names of VPN on public, because they'll get it, if they didn't get it yet.

 

Use PM for full names.

 

They got porn sites some years ago, as soon as they were posted on public thread.

You could look at major UK newspapers sites. I think, Telegraph and The Guardian advertise VPN as soon as you open their website, and they track you're reading it from China.

Sorry mate, no help from me.  I recently paid just under a hundred for a vpn from Avast but it didn't work.  China is tightly controlled by people with BCLD syndrome and a morbid fear of exposure.

The sands of time eventually win out.  When the jig's up all we can hope for is a swift departure.

Peaceout.

Ooopppssss!   Sorry, forgot to request PM's instead of public postings.  Thanks for reminding me, and many thanks to those that already sent me PM's.

My relative is having pneumonia, at her age is very serious, and will save me a ton of money in long distance calls if I can read frequent updates in Twitter and Facebook. 

Many thanks to all.

Really people? VPNs are not a big secret. A simple search on the internet reveals all of them?

Chinese government searching vpn providers and blocking them so if you want VPN, search on google and read other users feedback and start using vpn secretly that is working fine in China. 

PM me for suggestions

Hotwater:

How can the OP search on google if he needs a VPN?
