China blocks rotating IPs. You can go to a deal site and buy a lifetime VPN and some will work. I just download a bunch of the best free apps when I land and test a few out. Half work.
Pay for an hour of your time sir or spend it. Choice is yours. This is LET so we spend time here. Bye time for my next test.
Some people are saying Mullvad works pretty well.
https://fastestvpn.com/
Mullvad usually works, Proton sometimes works, but if you would like to take some effort, build your own proxy to your own VPS with protocols like vless+reality
Well known VPN services like nord and surfshark won’t work because they are way too well known
Thank you all, I have tried all of this except Mullvad. Right now, I am using LetsVPN, and it works fine. However, you can not change servers, so I am stuck in Hong Kong, and Netflix detects the VPN and blocks it. I will check Mullvad.
Before delving into a lengthy explanation, let's start with the conclusion: I recommend visiting https://www.duyaoss.com to choose a suitable service provider and use the corresponding software (which will be detailed later) to bypass the GWF.
Next, I'll share my personal solution: I am located in central China and use China Unicom broadband. After numerous attempts, I found that many VPNs on the market are not effective. Ultimately, I decided to set up my own service: I purchased some cheap VPS and applied for some free VPS. On the server side, I set up Nginx, Trojan (WebSocket+TLS), and Hysteria2, and generated a Clash configuration file. To further disguise my activities, I ran a Nextcloud website on the VPS.
On the client side, I installed Merlin Clash directly on my ASUS router for transparent proxying and domains distinguishing. If the router cannot achieve transparent proxying, you can install Clash Verge on your computer, Clash Meta on Android devices, and Stash (a paid app) on iOS devices.
For domains distinguishing, when accessing non-Chinese mainland websites daily, I connect through a Hong Kong VPS on GCP; when watching Netflix and Prime videos, I use an Oracle Singapore ARM VPS. As for other specific websites (such as Openxxx, Redxxx, Pornxxx, Betxxx, etc.), I configure them according to personal needs.
Additionally, I utilize an idle i7-4710mq mini PC to run Docker, installing Adguard Home and MosDNS for ad blocking and DNS resolution control, distinguishing between Chinese mainland and other regions' domains.
I have been using this solution for many years, and it has never failed me in personal and small-scale sharing use, far outperforming many commercial VPNs.
i have own vps set up with wireguard and it worked for me - HK, JP, SG, US
i just keep switching if there's some connection issue. never got blocked
perhaps that might be an alternative
That's a good option, but you cannot guarantee Netflix and Prime with VPNs for a long time.
there is NO VPN service provider can promise you that their service works 24/7/365 in China.
The local Chinese use proxy service to unblock websites. it's much better than VPN, and those guys use a special network (called IPEL or something) to tunnel the traffic, this special network do not go through the GFW, so no port/IP blocking . and those proxy service only works in China, so no English website.
if you can read Chinese, i can send you some links, or you have to contact your Chinese friends to buy it for you
I see can you send me the links?
https://xs-us.xyz/plan (new and cheap, less people=good connetion)
https://mojie.app/login (for backup, they have non-expired bandwidth plan,also cheap)
or , you can check these review pages, https://www.google.com/search?q=机场推荐
please keep in mind, that those proxy sellers are illegal in China, so they operate their business underground, they can run away in no time, so, just pay in monthly base
I have a VPN server using hiddify if you want to try, I don't know if it works in China or not.
I would also suggest Mullvad.
I host web proxy works in China too. If you wanna take a try.
Link to proxy, and there.
Some vpn protocols that serve traffic over https will less likely to get blocked in my opinion.
When it comes to GFW it's a bit tricky, but nothing is not possible, I recommend you to use Vmess protocol with encryption (chacha20itefpoly) with tls enabled and xhttp protocol, also do not forget to use nginx and also setting up a fake website on your server , this method is a bit complicated but works fine, you can also use hysteria2 which acts as a normal website and is easier to setup
I personally use 3x-ui panel for Vmess and s-ui panel for hysteria
Note that both these 2 are for personal use and you should run them on your own server , simply search for 3x-ui or s-ui on GitHub.
There's also another way to use vpn in china (I don't know if it works or not but at least it's free) and it's through an open source app called "oblivion" which is available in both GitHub and google play and it's also available for windows, Linux and Mac
try it first and if didn't worked go through setting up a vpn on your own server
Tailscale is what I use.
This one works 100% in China
https://letsvpn.world/
Claw.Cloud + 3x-ui worked for me
VPS + Putty + Firefox browser*
Done! No issues during my 20 years in China
*) Very important! Firefox supports channeling DNS traffic through your encrypted ssh tunnel.
Mullvald is good
Nekobox (xray reality on 443) to time4vps LT works fine for me at the begging of March.
oh man, that's how they bypass GFW back in 2010, you will get port blocking (for a few hours) once your traffic goes up, like watching videos
Don't use VPN, most of them not work well.
The more people use it, the more likely it is to be banned by GFW
Use China access optimized VPS + (vless + Reality)
u can use 3x-ui panel to add the node.
Yes, I have letsvpn but the issue is their server is in HK and I can not access Netflix and Prime gives me only the local programs no the USA ones
Tor works quite well with the relays on ports 65535.
It seems that GFW is not blocking port 65535, apparently due to a one-off bug. These Relays, set up on this port by a single person who clearly knows the bug, are always reachable for me.
Old topic, but....
Outline works very well in China. And it's free! I run one container on Oracle for free in the US.
Client is V2RayNG - and I use the
by appfunction so the VPN applies only to Youtube, Chrome, PlayStore and a few more.Since we all here have some VPS running it's a good option.

someone is doing VPN review in china,you can give it a look
for me I prefer "airport" more
兄弟那么多机场不买，买什么vpn
