7 VPNs Test Win10 in China–20200713

Today’s test device is Windows 10, and a total of 7 VPNs are tested against each other. The main test dimensions are server connection success rate, protocol usage, server connection aging, and speed after wall connection. At the same time, a number of VPNs used YouTube+SpeedTest to measure the speed. If I get good feedback from you, I will consider using this method for all VPN speed tests in the future! In that case, the test data will be more informative.

Summary: Based on today’s testing of ExpressVPN in Windows, the officially recommended method is now The connection to the wall is blocked, although I tested four servers here failed to connect but does not exclude the time period and geographical nuances of but the general situation are not much different. Also, based on the feedback from this site and readers, the method of connecting using the IKEv2 protocol is still available. It’s a US area, and other areas can be tried if you have the time. I’m just acting as a guide. If readers discover something new they can leave a comment or feedback and talk to me.

Due to time constraints, I couldn’t do a detailed test like the one above for the Mac and iPhone as well. But based on my own private use, these two devices can also be connected via the IKEv2 protocol. As for Android, it is possible to use Ex’s Bate version using its new protocol Lightway.

Summary: Two protocols for NordVPN in Windows 10, Nordlynx and OpenVPN (UDP) were both tested, but the results were disappointing, none of the connections worked. I also tried both the OpenVPN version app and IKEv2 in Mac and the results were the same. If you have already purchased NordVPN, then I would recommend trying to manually configure it to connect.

Summary: Tested in IvacyVPN’s Win10 China app, which offers 12 Servers, I tested 5 of them in their natural order. There were no problems with the connection success rate and the server response time was good. For this one, I used the YouTube Connection SpeedTest and The SpeedTest tests are performed together in a way that the two tests are quite different, and I can’t tell which is more Accurate. Readers can judge for themselves, but I think YouTube’s Connection SpeedTest It’s a little more intuitive to compare how this is actually used by users.

Summary: Tested PureVPN in Window 10 today and this had a good success rate. Speeds were also good after multiple servers went over the wall. The experience with the Win10 version of PureVPN is to try multiple servers, which helps to find the fastest! The Ping feedback value is only a reference, and based on long-term testing experience the duration of Ping feedback is not It represents a good difference in speed.
