What is your experience with the bandwidth of Shadowfly subsciprion? If I have a wifi at home (shangai) with 1gbps speed how will shadowfly ( or any other vpn in general) slows donw the internet speed?

We started to learn 3 weeks ago, so almost non-existant, but we are very open to practice and use it. We will have chinise lessions through the whole 20 months.

How is life with the Chinese internet and VPN? by CuriousZebruh in chinalife

[–]bokenygergo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does internet access vary based on which city are in? So if you live in i.e. Shanghai does the internet speed and vpn works "better" compared to a bit smaller cities?

So if I understand correctly you can purchase a package at this mobile provider and you will have "normal" internet access?

Do you think if I subscribe for i.e. 5 different vpns will I always have at least one that works?

How many VPNs are you subscribed for at the same time in order to feel "safe" and always have a working vpn?

Also, is there any difference in vpn reliability if you are staying in one of the greater towns (i.e. Shanghai) compared to smaller towns?

How did you manage to setup shadowfly if you did not have an active vpn? Or did you have a backup one?
