Yeh, thought I'd better warn you @Rico ANDROID , don't want the feds come breaking down the door and dragging off to gitmo or something. Through ExpressVPN, I can access pretty much anything. I pay $99 bucks a year, which for me is definitely worth it. :thumbsupdroid:

Thing is in China though, all the illegal P2P torrent sites and ShowBox etc. are completely accessible, but on the other hand legal things like Google, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook are censored and blocked, unless using a VPN.

Thank you so much for the heads-up and tips. That would be very scary to get that knock at the door. Now i am glad my ISP did call , i told them i didnt know. I didnt also realize youtube, Google even Facebook have lovalized censoring. Looks like a paid VPN service is the way to go! Glad you are fully connected to the world!

And what do u think, which VPN we should opt for, as China's great firewall is being stronger and they are detecting vpn users and blocking them. i tried zenmate free extension it failed...
 
Don't bother trying to use free VPNs in China, they rarely work, and I'm sure those the ones that are specifically blocked by the GFW. I use ExpressVPN, which always works and seems to be reliable here. AstrillVPN is the other one that's often recommended for China, and I know a couple of colleagues who use it. These are both paid ones, not free.

I think what it is the govt. doesn't really want to stop VPNs completely, because many enterprises use them here for their international business, and probably want to keep expats and tourists happy as well. It could be that both Express and Astrill are like approved and allowed here.

TOR has been blocked and unusable for a long time.
