VPN testimonials…

VPNs are a hot topic lately, so I figured I’d start a thread where they could be discussed. 

I’m headed to China in a few weeks. It’ll be interesting to see what I can and can’t access without a VPN and how well the VPNs work. China is at the top of their game playing whack-a-mole with VPNs, so I’m thinking what works in China should work in slightly less restrictive locations.

Anyway, the three I’ll be trying are:

1. ExpressVPN, $13/mo, but comes with a 1GB eSIM which should be useful. Historically this has been the best VPN for China, but lately there have been reports of issues. 
    
2. Mullvad, €5/mo ($5.83), has a stellar reputation for privacy. 
    
3. V1VPN, $6/mo, Europe-based but targeted to work in China. My theory is China focuses on the major VPNs, so I’m hoping this one is somewhat off their radar. 

When I’m back I’ll let you know my thoughts on each.

Thanks @rawTOP and safe travels to you.

Have you considered to use the TOR network? It would be quite interesting to see if China blocks that completely. It works well for me to connect to here
