Astrill VPN[/caption]

I have been using Astrill VPN for 10 years in China, and in my opinion, it is the best VPN for navigating the internet in this region. Astrill VPN stands out as the most reliable and fastest VPN I have ever used in China, especially for watching Netflix, accessing blocked websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, and maintaining my privacy in public places like airports and hotels.

In my experience, they also notify you with push notifications or emails when they are having issues and provide instructions on how to fix them. During national meetings or holidays when most VPNs start to fail for a few days, Astrill always finds a way to keep you connected.

The best part is their customer support: they respond promptly in their support chat and, if necessary, offer remote assistance to help you resolve any issues. If you're looking for the best VPN to use in China, I highly recommend Astrill VPN.
