Anonymous VPN & Proxy Blog

China is host to the Golden Shield Project (sounds like something out of the Avengers doesn’t it?), also known as the Great Firewall of China. This firewall is a surveillance project that blocks data for Chinese citizens by restricting popular websites like Gmail, Facebook, and Twitter. Search engine terms are also subject to blockage. Lately, things are getting even worse for Chinese citizens looking to retain their internet freedom.

During recent World War 2 military celebrations, Chinese officials took steps to remove and sabotage popular VPN services by aggressively blocking most PPTP, L2TP and ipsec services. Many VPN providers have recently reported problems with their service due to this Chinese Firewall intervention.

This is not an isolated incident however, as police also forced other software developers to remove their anti-censorship software from the popular open source file sharing website Github. Not willing to spare even the site to host such softwares, the policed DDoS attack also hit GitHub during the celebrations. This isn’t the first time the website has had DDoS attacks either, as attacks from the government stretch as far back as March 2015.

These attacks are becoming more aggressive, in part due to the Chinese’s focus on stopping VPN and anti-censorship software from evading their control. Reports of the Chinese Firewall becoming stronger stretch back even earlier this year when we reported major connection issues with certain VPNs and even Google access.

The source of the latest attacks seems to be the Chinese government’s ability to conduct deep packet inspection to inspect and block VPN protocols in combination with blocking specific VPN servers themselves.

The very infrastructure of the country provides a basis for the government to maintain it’s censorship. The officials channel the internet through three computer centers in Beijing, Shanghai, and the southern city of Guangzhou—it’s incredibly easy for China to suppress information. They can physically monitor all incoming traffic.

Information is filtered by “packet sniffers” that inspect data as it comes through the various channels. It’s very easy at this point to block connections if officals see suspect websites.

However, not all of the censorship rests on China’s shoulders. Even huge respectable companies like Google are part of the game, as it has designed a censored search engine exclusive to China to serve the government’s needs which has resulted in search engine results coming up different in China than other places.

How to Use TorGuard VPN in China:

Since China uses deep packet inspection to filter or block VPN and proxy techniques, most VPN methods and providers are stuck without access to PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec connections. Even standard OpenVPN connections are blocked during these periods of strict censorship.

But that’s where TorGuard comes in! TorGuard is the best VPN for China because it has a unique and robust stealth system that is untraceable and specially designed for countries that filter and censor internet usage. TorGuard Stealth uses obfuscation that makes the traffic blend in with normal looking traffic. The VPN service will appear as regular HTTPS traffic, making it virtually impossible to block. Stealth VPN is fully compatible with Windows, Mac, and Android. It’s the easiest and most powerful solution to bypass the Great Firewall directly. TorGuard offers fast stealth VPN servers in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, UK, Netherlands, and the USA.

Not only that, but TorGuards USA servers are individually optimized for users in locations outside of the United States connecting in—which means countries like China, Taiwan, or Japan connecting to the United States do not encounter high latency. These highly optimized servers feature ideal routing paths and improved peering that provide extremely fast speeds. Multiple route paths are available to reach ISPS like ChinaTelecom, ChinaUnicom, and Taiwan’s HiNet.

In addition to Stealth VPN, TorGuard also offers SSTP and SSL proxy access while using the TorGuard Chrome application. It’s an extremely versatile extension that is easy to install.  It provides high levels of encryption when needed without the need for complicated software install.

VPN software is a life saver when you can’t access the internet sites you need. Unfortunately, not all VPN providers offer the same services, and it can be extremely frustrating to purchase a VPN software and still not have internet access or be subject to censorship.

TorGuard understands this, which is why we have created multiple service offerings to cover everything a user could need. Don’t let seemingly insurmountable obstacles like the Chinese Firewall restrict your freedom! If you purchase TorGuard and aren’t satisfied, there is a seven-day money back guarantee. There’s no reason to hesitate!

Worried about payment? Don’t be. TorGuard accepts popular Chineese payment methods like: Alipay, UnionPay, TenPay, Clickandbuy, Ukash, Mint, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Credit Card, and PayPal.
