That's why some vpn works and some don't. And some work a while then stoped working you have to change servers. Personally I use a proxy software called shadowsocks, it's a open source software, but you need some IT skills to properly set it up. But once it's done it works perfectly. btw, I live in Chengdu |
I was just in Beijing over the past week, and I used ExpressVPN with no problems.

I was in Beijing and Shanghai last month. ExpressVPN worked well for both my Iphone and Macbook.

Sometimes it takes a while to connect though, quite a few tries. It isn't fast, but Nordvpn was never fast for me anyway. |
NordVPN works fine. It actually the best have tested.

Data point: China updated their firewall, it's messing with VPNs.
After some chat time with their tech support they got me back up with a new client on my desktop. My phone, however, did not come back up on WiFi after that, but it worked correctly on Sprint global roaming (the low-speed free version at least, I didn't try the paid version.) |
I used Express VPN last month and had no issues, I was able to get everything.
|
ADVChina (Winston Sterzel and Matthew Tye) just did a video talking about VPNs.

I can't get Express VPN or VPN Secure to work in China. Is it only certain countries that you can set it to to get it to work there? Is there a free VPN for phones that works well so you can watch Netflix and download new shows when abroad? |

No VPN works fast and stable in China. The government know you are using a VPN. They allow you to use VPN temporary such as check your emails. Once they detected you use a VPN for a long time, they will kill the connection.
PM me if you just visit China for a short period, and I can help you to get Facebook online. |
Dead wrong. I've been using a VPN without problems for some time. That is, some do work.

Just not true. Don't want to be a shill for ExpressVPN but it works like a champ, albeit a little costly at 100 USD per year. I was having some difficulty connecting last month and thought maybe they were having some troubles. Got on a support chat they asked me to sign out of my account and sign back in again on my devices. Worked just fine after that. My Chinese co-workers have found some free VPNs working now after the big shutdown last year. They're back on twitter and facebook again.
