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.

PureVPN is a premium service that operates 2,000+ servers in 140+ countries. It offers unlimited bandwidth, P2P compatibility, and high-end security features including military-level encryption and port forwarding.
Even better, it can unblock Netflix. But it's not as reliable as our top five recommended VPNs, since the speeds were slow and the quality was poor.

PureVPN on RaspBerryPi + Auto connect on system start-up crontab
I’ve been facing huge problems with my new PI as a Non-technical user.. The ports were blocked no utilities were installed on my PI.. However, When the road ends for me I’ve asked their support to helpout with the PI. Vladimir Nabov was the one with brilliant Linux skills. He first made debian work forr my Pi then configured the VPN using a simply script with the Dedicated IP and it worked like a CHARM.. The challenge came when I asked if I can make it work when I turn on the PI. YES, Vladimir Nabov made the connection / script worked on PI using a crontab which worked like a CHARM .. IN a nutshell I never thought I could meet up my expectations but yes their support made it to work as per my expectations… This is a legit review based on my recent experience..

Horrible service, beware!!!
PureVPN is cheap and easy to use, where they want you to use it...but it does not work with individual use cases and the support on such questions just tells you to work with their applications.
Do not give them your money, it's not worth it in my opinion!
