    Private Internet Access PIA have used in it China for a few years with no issues whatsoever.

    i use it on my laptop and phone no worries

  • ExpressVPN worked well for me in September. It allowed multiple current devices.

  • Travelling Singapore? Grab a starhub sim.

  • Used to use Astrill when I lived there 2 years ago, not sure if it's still going. It had mixed reviews, the customer service was pretty bad, but it seemed to work about 80% of the time for me, so I stuck with it. I only went with them because most of the other expats, as well as the international schools my kids went to and the international medical clinic we went to also used Astrill. If you think our speeds are bad here, you should wait till you get there.

  • vypervpn works great

  • If you want guaranteed uncensored free (as in freedom) Internet access in China I suggest leaving your PC on in Australia while you are over there, and logging in using Remote Desktop.

    It's free and a good backup just in case your chosen VPN provider becomes blocked while you're over there.

    If you're using a friend's connection in China and they might get worried about attracting police attention over their connection being used to access a known VPN, using remote desktop to your Australian IP is a very safe alternative.

  • Hi altomic

    Would a Singapore starhub Mobile SIM card enable my device to access to my WhatsApp account whilst I am in China ?

    Interesting! The next time when I am in transit in the Changi airport on my way to China , I might look into it .

    Great ! Thanks
