Everyone in China needs a VPN to access Google, Facebook and other blocked websites or APPs. But as more strict the Chinese censorship is, more VPN service can not working in China, like Astrill, HideMyAss, Private Internet Access, VPN Gate and so on. I used Astrill before, it was good then, but now die in China. This is very urgent to get one VPN still working in China.
Here is a list about the VPN still working in China.
ExpressVPN
In China, ExpressVPN is very popular, though the price is a bit expensive, but that’s what you really need in China. It has a huge range of server locations, more than 1500+ servers in the world.

VyprVPN
As one of the oldest VPN brand born in 2005, VyprVPN has been impacted by China government . But with advanced technology, they are back now, I am using VyprVPN in China now, it’s good at security, but to be honestly, the speed need to improve.
Buffered
Buffered VPN started VPN service in 2014. For three years, they place their servers on every continent in 37 countries. You are permitted torrenting or P2P on all the servers. Well, Users can connect up to five devices to Buffered at the same time and you can get your money back in 30 days as Express VPN. Port discovery mode is a perfect feature only belongs to Buffered, The result is that Buffered users can connect to WiFi in hotels and other places without the need of a password from reception.

StrongVPN is another long-time favorite VPN in China. As one of the oldest VPN brand born in 2005, Speed and uptime of StrongVPN are reliable.

Other ways to bypass the GFW of China
- Lantern: free to use, more and more popular
- Tor: works with a bit of advanced configuration, you can google it.
- SOCKS proxy: as we said before, privacy is a problem.
- Surge for iOS: not suit for normal user.
how often are they tested
As we know, they are all care China. Because in China,140 million people use VPN, that would be a very large market for every VPN service provider. But in technically, not all VPN can bypass GreatFireWall. So I do not know how often they test it in China, but they must be working hard on that. And I suggest buy any of them monthly or quarterly.
