Astrill VPN is undeniably powerful and packed with useful features. Its network of 300+ servers in 64+ countries offers superfast connection speeds and access to geo-restricted content around the world. By way of comparison, ExpressVPN has 3,000 servers in over 160 countries.
This VPN provides a long list of encryption algorithms and secure protocols to choose from, including a proprietary prot

Excellent All Round
Very robust VPN, the only real choice for China. A little on the costly side but the only one which has consistently worked well over the years. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending, especially for anyone looking for a reliable VPN for China.

Absolutely the best for living in China
I live in China for 11 years and I think I have tried all VPN services that are supposed to work in China.
They have good marketing departments, but they either don't work at all, are very slow, won't connect or disconnect frequently, to name just a few issues.
I also used ExpresVPN, which is supposed to be the best in China. NONSENSE!
I have used them for 2 years and there was nothing but trouble. Extreme connection problems that haven't been solved up to this day.
I am wondering how many of the reviewers actually live in China, because the reviews are usually incorrect to say the least.

Buffered VPN has a lot to offer due to its user-friendly interface, fast connection speeds, and reliable security. One thing it can't do is unblock Netflix, you'll need a premium vendor like NordVPN for that.
In addition to dedicated apps available for all major platforms, Buffered VPN also offers router compatibility. There are 40+ servers available in 37 different countries, including three ser

I considered a number of VPN's before going with Buffered which I find excellent.
No issues in any aspect, On the rare occasions that I required assistance (in the initial set up stage), the Help Desk was outstanding. Would highly recommend Buffered to anyone considering using a VPN

STAY AWAY!!
If I could give zero stars I would. I was a customer for three years overpaying but double the amount. Shortly after I had signed up, they dropped their price in half and never informed me. I only realized this after buying a new computer and having to download the application on my new device. I reached out to their customer service, who told me they did not have to inform me of such and if I wanted the new price I had to cancel my automatic renewal and wait to sign up again. Such poor customer service, these people are true scammers and do not care about their customers. I will be switching vpn and finding another service. I would not give these people any of your money. Aside from their awful customer service, the vpn blocking did not work many times and when I checked my own IP address it still showed up as my own and the connection was extremely slow. So many better services out there!
