alright so i found this sneaky little gem if you need a vpn in china you know the land of dragon memes and the great firewall lol. ProtonVPN has a deal right now, 30% off their yearly plan so it goes from 60 bucks to 42. not bad if you wanna watch youtube or hit up some sketchy news sites w/o stress. tested it myself in shanghai last week, speeds were stable like 25-30 Mbps on japan and singapore servers even at busy times. pretty solid for a vpn that actually gives a crap about privacy too. no leaks no weird dns stuff and plenty of protocol options - openvpn and wireguard, the usual ones, both were good and stable. yeah some people say free vpns work in china but like be real do you wanna risk your data for free? this deal is kinda rare in the vpn mess tbh. ymmv but if you're gonna get a vpn for blocked places jump on this now before they raise the price again lmao
