As title says. Please advise.
Currently have express and Letsvpn installed but I thought maybe getting 1-2 more backup.
With Alipay esim you don’t need a vpn. However, if you really want to use a vpn mullvad works well.
Express is rubbish. For backups, download SuperVPN, Secure VPN, Thunder VPN, and Mullvad VPN. ets should be sufficient, but if it goes off you’ll have those others on your phone.
Just left China on 5 Jan. Mullvad absolutely works and only costs 5 euro for one month
Astrill is what I used, worked well enough.
Do not use Express
Letsvpn is working well here currently
Do I need to have started the vpn before going to China? Like a paid plan first? Or can I start the plan while I’m there? As long as I have it downloaded on my computer first? Or phone.
so with alipay esim you can access google etc?
Working brilliantly, just as it did on my trip here last year (for WiFi and a China mobile local sim)
You mean alipay esim or mullvad vpn?
I think you should be able to start when here, but I’d probably start just before my flight leaves.
Better to have the subscription running before you go. Depending on where you are in China, it could perhaps block the payment window, when trying to pay for a subscription while within China and then you will not be able to pay and do anything.
Though i’ve heard letsvpn is actually Chinese-run, so you should be able to buy your subscription while within China, but I would not make bets on it. Better safe than sorry.
