The Best VPN for China: How to access Facebook behind the Great Wall

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The first part of this article explains what a VPN is and how it can be used to access Facebook, YouTube and the other websites that are currently blocked in China.

The second part is a comparative review of VyprVPN, ExpressVPN and StrongVPN, which are in my opinion the three best VPN services for China. We’ll compare prices, functionality and the performance of the three VPNs.

What is a VPN and why do I need it in China?

As you probably already know, the internet doesn’t work like we wish it did in China and a large number of websites are blocked by the Great Firewall. Among the websites that you can’t access there are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Google+.

There are many other blocked websites, and depending on what you do, it will be virtually impossible for you to work in China without a VPN (Virtual Private Network) from China. The most striking case is probably given by Google.com, which often returns an error message when used from within the Middle Kingdom.

But there is still hope…

In order to solve this problem, you can install a VPN, which masks your I.P. address so that your laptop appears to be connected from the U.S. or Japan even if you are in China.

A VPN will allow you to bypass the firewall and access any website you want. But you need to choose wisely: even if there are tens of VPN services available, only a few works well in China. We have tested several of them for more than a year and today we’re going to review the two we like the most.

When shall I install the VPN?

We recommend to install your VPN before you travel to China as, if you wait till you arrive in China, installing the VPN app in your smartphone will be more difficult as Google Play is blocked too!

What are the best VPN for China and which should I choose?

In a nutshell, if you’re looking for a cheap, fast and reliable VPN, I suggest you to get StrongVPN.

However, if you don’t mind spending $1-2 USD more (per month) in order to get a VPN that has a more user-friendly setup and also works well on smartphones and tablets, then you should get VyprVPN.

Finally, if you are looking for a VPN with good performance, which is less popular in China (and therefore less susceptible to attacks like those that occurred in January 2015) and with servers in many countries, I recommend you use ExpressVPN.

Even though there are several free options such as Freegate (which is actually a proxy, not a VPN), they aren’t at all reliable and are extremely slow. The practical result is that by resorting to a free option, you won’t be able to do anything other than check your Facebook or Twitter feeds. Even posting a comment on Facebook will become an impossible mission.

      I am currently using IronSocket as my VPN provider and I have been with them for several months. My last business trip to China was like a month ago and I therefore conclude that IronSocket works well especially in China. That is because I think they are Hong Kong based and that they are reliable and you do not have to worry about speed. You know, as far as Australia, they are popular over there so that means, if you live in the US like me, we can use them with same speed as with the Asians and Aussies who use them. I like using them esp with business, work, personal, and almost everything.

      China is a very special country if we are talking about the internet. When I was travelling in China I used Nord vpn. I read on Anta NET that companies like Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, are not available there.
      So vpn service china is the only way to get access to the internet. Sure it’s better to choose a paid one ’cause I don’t think that it will work with free vpn.
