Access to VPN mirror websites (easiest way)<\/h3>\n<p>The majority of VPN provider websites are blocked in China. Even so, the main providers have created &#8220;mirror&#8221; websites (exact copies of the website with a different URL) that are accessible.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of the links to the mirror sites of some of the main VPNs:<\/p>\n<div class=\"sdc-cta\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/go\/expressvpn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/expressvpn.png\" alt=\"Express VPN\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\">Go to Express VPN&#8217;s website<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/go\/expressvpn2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/expressvpn.png\" alt=\"Express VPN\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\">Express VPN&#8217;s website link 2<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/go\/nordvpn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/nordvpn.png\" alt=\"Nord VPN\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\">Go to Nord VPN&#8217;s website<\/a><br \/>\n \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/go\/vyprvpn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/vyprvpn.png\" alt=\"Vypr VPN\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\">Go to VyprVPN&#8217;s website<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/go\/ivacy\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/ivacy.png\" alt=\"ivacy\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\">Go to Ivacy&#8217;s website<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/go\/surfshark\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/surfshark.png\" alt=\"Surfshark\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\">Go to Surfshark&#8217;s website<\/a><br \/>\n \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/go\/astrill\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/astrill.png\" alt=\"Astrill VPN\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\">Go to Astrill&#8217;s website<\/a><br \/>\n \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/go\/strongvpn-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/logo\/strongvpn.png\" alt=\"Strong VPN\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\">Go to StrongVPN&#8217;s website<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Important<\/strong>: Keep in mind that these websites are also often blocked by the Great Firewall of China. If the link doesn&#8217;t work, let us know in the comments section and we&#8217;ll change it as soon as possible or you can try the link from another VPN.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Use a SIM card from another country<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/alternatives-to-vpn-in-china\/\">SIM card from Hong Kong<\/a> or your home country, you can use the roaming service to surf the internet without restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are connected, you only need to download the VPN app onto your cellphone and purchase a subscription. After that, you can switch to a Wi-Fi network or a Chinese SIM and enable your VPN.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> Roaming services can be expensive, so use this method carefully.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Ask a Friend or Family Member for Help<\/h3>\n<p>If you have friends in China who already use a VPN, the easiest way to access a VPN is to ask them to share their internet connection using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Share-an-Internet-Connection\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">portable WiFi hotspot<\/a> with the VPN activated.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have friends in China with a VPN, you can always ask your family or friends back home to subscribe to a VPN for you and send you the app installation file. Notice, that a lot of file-sharing services and email providers are also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/list-of-blocked-websites-in-china\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">blocked in China<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important<\/strong>: Remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/access-gmail-account-china\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Gmail is also blocked in China<\/a> and you need an active email account to be able to register a VPN service. Make sure that you can access your email account in China before purchasing a VPN.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"VPN-download-1d\">How to download and install a VPN in China<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"VPN-download-1a\">Windows and Mac<\/h3>\n<p>Downloading a VPN for Windows or Mac in China isn&#8217;t a problem as long as you can access the VPN provider&#8217;s website:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Access the website of your chosen VPN<\/li>\n<li>Purchase a plan based on your needs<\/li>\n<li>Access your account<\/li>\n<li>Download the software for Windows or Mac from its website<\/li>\n<li>Install the software on your computer<\/li>\n<li>Connect your VPN and freely access the Internet in China!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 id=\"VPN-download-1b\">Android<\/h3>\n<p>Downloading a VPN on Android isn&#8217;t very complicated. Because Google Play doesn&#8217;t work (unless you have an active VPN), you need to download the .apk file.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Access your chosen VPN provider&#8217;s website and purchase a plan<\/li>\n<li>From your phone, access the VPN provider&#8217;s website<\/li>\n<li>Download the .apk file<\/li>\n<li>When the download finishes, open the file (avoid using Google Play to open the .apk file)<\/li>\n<li>Open the app and connect the VPN<\/li>\n<li>Use WhatsApp, Google Play and any other app blocked in China!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 id=\"VPN-download-1c\">iOS (iPhone and iPad)<\/h3>\n<p>Downloading a VPN onto an iOS device in China can be a bit tedious, but if you follow a few simple steps, it isn\u2019t hard.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Option 1: Using a computer <\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Access your chosen VPN provider&#8217;s website and sign up for a plan <\/li>\n<li>Download the VPN on your computer <\/li>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t have it, install iTunes on your computer (preferably with the VPN active)<\/li>\n<li>Activate the VPN and open iTunes <\/li>\n<li>Open the iTunes Store <\/li>\n<li>Search and download the app<\/li>\n<li>Connect your iPhone or iPad to the computer <\/li>\n<li>Open the device in your iTunes <\/li>\n<li>Synchronize the device with iTunes <\/li>\n<li>Open the VPN app on your iOS device <\/li>\n<li>Use all the apps you want in China without restrictions!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong> Important <\/strong>: If you are unable to find the App in iTunes (with the VPN connected), you may have to change the region in the iTunes Store, for this you will have to create a new Apple ID.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Option 2: Directly from your iOS device <\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Access your chosen VPN provider&#8217;s website and purchase a plan<\/li>\n<li>Look up or ask for the manual configuration settings for the VPN (preferably LTP2 or IKEv2)<\/li>\n<li>Go to <em>Settings<\/em>&#8211;&gt;<em>General<\/em>&#8211;&gt;<em>VPN<\/em>&#8211;&gt;<em>Add VPN Setting<\/em> and add the configuration that your VPN provider has given you.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the recently configured VPN<\/li>\n<li>Go to the App Store<\/li>\n<li>Look for and install the VPN app<\/li>\n<li>Disconnect the manually configured VPN and use the app<\/li>\n<li>Use all of the apps that you want in China!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Important<\/strong>: If you can&#8217;t find the app even with the VPN connected, it&#8217;s possible that you will have to change the country of the App
