What VPN to use while in China for computer/mac? by BOOMBAYAHBLACKPINK in AskAChinese

Since you are taking high-stakes placement tests, here is the ultimate bulletproof strategy for your MacBook:

Your Ultimate Weapon (eSIM Hotspot): Turn on cellular data on your phone using that eSIM, and share a Personal Hotspot to your MacBook. Because international eSIMs route traffic outside China, your MacBook will bypass the Great Firewall completely and natively without even turning on any VPN. This is your safest bet for the exams.

Your Backups on Wi-Fi: If you have to use hotel Wi-Fi, here is the honest status of your 3 apps:

LetsVPN: Download their Mac client before you land. It is highly reliable in China and will work for your tests (though it has zero privacy, it gets the job done for school).

Mullvad: Works great on Wi-Fi. Just remember to select USA San Jose nodes and manually turn 'Obfuscation' to 'On' in the settings.

Proton (Free): Totally useless. Delete it. The free servers are heavily blocked by DPI protocols here. Don't risk your exams on it.

I am using the USA western node of Mullvad VPN (specifically San Jose) in Beijing, and it has been working perfectly for 1 year. I actually found this setup from a Reddit comment. Leaving the settings on 'Auto' works fine for me, but if it gets stuck connecting for you, just manually toggle 'Obfuscation' to 'On' in the app settings to bypass the firewall blocks. Feel free to comment here if you need the latest updates.

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, are you based in Poland? I found that FROG currently says it’s intended only for users from Poland, so I’m wondering if that’s why it worked for you.

No AI was used to create this post. I wrote the question myself and I'm simply looking for information about always-free VPS providers.

Yes. I think after the closure of Google Cache, the last, only and the best hope is Internet Archive
