For all of today and most of yesterday, I have been unable to connect. I contacted their tech support and they set me up on some different servers but still with no luck. The support rep said that many China-based customers have had the same problems.
I heard Leafy VPN is the way to go. I also have StrongVPN and will prob be making the switch when my subscription ends. Anybody use Leafy?
I’m doing just fine and have been for at least the last 12 hours.
didn’t they do some campaign on several china related sites just recently? including the china subreddit?
StrongVPN user here. Works fine, but has been very very slow for me when using their San Fran servers. I switched over to a Washington DC server and things got reasonably faster.
Also, ask the customer support about their new StrongVPN dailer. It replaces their OpenVPN client and so far has been much more reliable.
i have found it much slower today than usual. even for a sat its bad.
yeah but its been hella slow all day. cant even watch youtube videos.
It’s been a nightmare this last couple of days. As soon as this contract is over I’m switching.
Along the same lines, I don’t use a VPN and over the past 2 weeks or so, Google HK has been doing worse and worse. Most times, searches just shuts down the connection. Anyone else?
I’ve been using Astrill for the better part of a year now and have had no problems.
(no secret I have a vendetta against the incompetent fucks at Astrill)
why if I may ask?
mmh, thanks. good to know. we pay that extra 5 but share it
