Q: What is the best VPN for China?
currently using NordVPN, but sometimes it doesnt work. any suggestion?
2 years 41 weeks ago in Web & Technology - China
As soon as somebody writes the name of good VNP on the Board, it will be soon deleted by authorities ... speaking by LT experience on the Board.
Stiggs:
People always say that but I've seen lots of VPN questions over the years where people named the one I was using, along with the other popular ones and as far as I know they're all still working ok.
It does piss people off though but it's like when your girlfriend farts in the car, it's obvious it's there but you both look straight ahead at the road and try to pretend it doesn't exist even though it very obviously does.

As soon as I discovered Opera browser with free Vnp included, I report it here. A month later, Opera wouldn't work anymore with Vpn on.
I am guessing, some are easier to block than others. Questions posted here are often purposely asked for making clear something that isn't ...
This Board and the whole website are open to collect an info on laowai in China.
You might think, that isn't so, but that certainly is the possibility. Read more on Chinese control of their web ...
Stiggs:
It might just be coincidence,some issue with compatibility or something. I doubt the powers that be don't know they exist.
Like I say, there are a few that have been used for years with no problems and everytime this question pops up online they get named.
icnif77:
I wasn't able to use Opera with Vnp on until my exit a year or so later. In HK, it worked fine and on mainland it wouldn't ...
Read first warning about posting details on Answers somewhere around 2010 ...
@ Icnif, I'm not able to comment on your post for some reason...
Yeah, who knows. I doubt that the Chinese internet people rely on English teachers talking on forums for their information about what's happening in the online security world though and like I said, the big few have been around for years despite being recommended every time this question comes up. I've read that without access to the WWW Chinese researchers, business people etc would have a very hard time doing their thing so the VPNs that probably aren't easily available to the average Zhou are quietly allowed to operate.
You said were using a free service, I think you got what you paid for.
icnif77:
YES! 
I am getting some 3 per week, so today's change was rela xing. .
... am gonna suffocate ...
Stiggs:
I don't usually notice the AOTD, I think I had one a couple of weeks ago. And I had an AOTD that was there for well over a year, it must have a good one.
icnif77:
Yer 10-months AOD was on for so long 'cause they were looking for the big Admin, i.e. nobody was at the helm to change it ... 
It was quality, too 
... a bit.
Stiggs:
Nah, admin messaged me and said it was so good it crashed the system, took them months to fix it.
They asked me not to post as often after that...
You can load a bunch of vpn selections from torrent sites, I find about 6 that worked fine free when I was there, but I never named them for obvious reasons.
icnif77:
You see ... we, LT posters speak the same language.
I read about it here first time around 2010 and warning was repeated many times after that. I guess, posters were writing out of experience.
With Vnp not working there are two main things involved. Either, block was posted or yer Internet connection is lousy. Mine (Internet connection) was always included in rent/apartment, so it wasn't the best-est one.
As soon as I was in HK on hotel's wi-fi everything was cool&dandy.
I've never had my own Vnp while in China, but experience with Opera confirmed what posters here were saying.
... and @Stiggs ... "Chino cops don't care what foreign posters in China are saying .." ... maybe they don't now when we're only four of us posting , but the site was much busier in pre-Cofid days.
Now, the new big Admin is cleaning-up all Chino negative posts since a month ago. I got message at deletes " ... this post might be acceptable outside of China, but here ... is no-no-no-no ..".
I posted yesterday Zero's report about new Cofid lock-down/outbreak in Guangdong, I think ... and it's gone.
We must 'celebrate' 100-years and many thous. years of kwaize's history ...
