Need a good VPN....

[leon315]

hi dearest tempers,

I'm going to have great time on island of Hainan, China next week YAY!!! everyone knows that due to The Great Firewall of China, Gmail or Youtube is not available there, and i'm looking for a good VPN! the only i found is EXPRESSVPN.

Has anyone tried it yet? Or if there are even better ones.....

I've used Private Internet Access for a few years now and it's been great.

I've used PIA for a while, it's fast and got a ton of server(s) everywhere.
Also they been to court a couple of times but with no evidence with them, since they don't log anything.

thanks for quick response! how many pings you get? do they collect user data? any cap?

It shows the ping for each server before you connect, but I don't have my laptop to check atm. No cap though and they don't log anything as far as I know.

Nope, I can just leave it on in the background and everything works great. Even for torrenting the speed seems to be close to when the VPN is off.

I don't know the current state of affairs but I should note that China has been cracking down a bit of late so do make sure it works there presently. Many such reviews of services might be outdated, or focus on torrents or on people that need 50 devices in dozens of locations rather than being able to bypass the great firewall in [current date].

will keep this in mind, possibly i'll get a free trial to make sure if this work in china before

i found a article on PIA for China, seems it doesn't work well there, may look for an alt. one.

Nord VPN is a good one

I second this. Used a referral code and got it dirt cheap (like $3 a month for 2 years, or so) and it's honestly been pretty flawless. Consistently works, lots of options, good speeds, etc. I recommend.

Hello.

If you are using FIREFOX you can try the free Add on BROWSEC.

Well not being the losing party in a court case is certainly proof

[Bladexdsl]

this is the one i use https://www.expressvpn.com/
it has it's own app you log into, select destination and done. auto connects when you start computer too. and i've been able to get into anything with it plus it's super fast

it's not worth using browser VPNs they are SHIT
