Best Settings for Proton VPN in mainland China?
Hey everyone,
I’m currently in China, and my Proton VPN connection has been unreliable. I know the Great Firewall is constantly evolving, but I was wondering if anyone has found a solid configuration that works.
So far, I’ve tried:
-
Stealth protocol (sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t)
-
OpenVPN (TCP) (decent, but slow and often drops)
-
Standard connection (avoiding Secure Core since it’s easier to detect)
*Japan/Singapore/HK (hit or miss)
- Alternate Routing enabled
Has anyone found a working profile, protocol, or connection type that consistently gets through? Are there any specific server recommendations that still work well?
I have noticed that in some Wi-Fi networks some websites are no reachable even with VPN. Any recommended DNS?
Would love to hear any tips or alternative VPN recommendations! Thanks!
