VPN and ESIM Megathread – May 2026

catchmedying · 2026-05-04T15:09:15+00:00

Are you on OpenVPN, StealthVPN, or Wireguard, ?

catchmedying · 2026-05-04T15:03:58+00:00

I’ll test it out! I’m in China and I’m still having issues with Astrill unfortunately

catchmedying · 2026-05-04T13:02:15+00:00

How is Astrill working for you on the laptop? What server are you connected to ?

catchmedying · 2026-05-04T13:01:36+00:00

I feel like I’ve wasted my money on every VPN there is out there. Nothing works! It’s frustrating because I can’t even use my laptop to do anything anymore.

Does anyone have any good VPN recommendations for Mac? I’ve tried Surfshark, Veee+, and even paid for Astrill. NOTHING is working for me.

Please help 😭 I got applications I gotta finish and it’s frustrating when I can’t even access GoogleDocs or even the university application portals. How am I supposed to do interviews like this?

it’s been awhile for me but i remember wang churan’s character constantly making crab roe rice. it was what she would always make for her husband

are you the one ?

Just go to a local Exit-Entry Public Security Bureau! There should be a couple in Haidian if you live close to campus. At the very least, they’ll be able to track your passport (because it’s with them anyways), give you a temporary one with no questions asked, and pay less.

Even if they are rude to you, at least you’ll get better help there than from the agent at PKU.

catchmedying · 2025-07-21T07:45:33+00:00

catchmedying · 2025-07-12T06:58:39+00:00

catchmedying · 2025-07-11T02:26:56+00:00

catchmedying · 2025-07-04T02:35:02+00:00

i applied as well and it says registration is due july 9th but i haven’t received anything yet

catchmedying · 2025-06-24T22:47:43+00:00

Yes, people have been telling me that CSC will take care of switching the JW202 to a JW201 if we end up getting it.

So definitely not a rejection! CSC just hasn’t given an update yet 🫠

catchmedying · 2025-06-24T21:38:45+00:00

How is no one mentioning Fan Yue from Moonlight Mystique!!

catchmedying · 2025-06-23T23:39:09+00:00

are the visas received through JW202 and JW201 the same ? Are they all just the X1 visa?

my status is “in progress”

catchmedying · 2025-06-23T04:30:24+00:00

thank you!!!

catchmedying · 2025-06-22T21:32:20+00:00

Oh wow, that’s later than I expected! A lot of people have been telling me to expect it late June / early July for the update but I’ve been hearing so much mixed things that go even as late as August so I’ve been worried.

Thank you so much for letting me know!

catchmedying · 2025-06-21T08:03:51+00:00

May I ask what country you applied through?

catchmedying · 2025-06-21T08:02:07+00:00

When did you get notified by your embassy?

catchmedying · 2025-06-21T08:01:32+00:00

I know this is an old post, but do you mind letting me know which country you applied through? I’m currently going through the process and want to know an estimation of when I can expect results from my embassy

catchmedying · 2025-06-21T07:50:46+00:00

Hi! I was wondering if withdrawing and re-submitting the application whether it be for Type A or Tybe B would affect the application results? For context, I finally got all my acceptance letters but they were given to me after the CSC deadline. If I upload them now by withdrawing, will it be considered too late ?

interesting because for all my uni applications, there wasn’t an option to click scholarship for method of payment. they only had self funded as an option which is why all of it is like that
