8VPNs in China Win10 Test–20200628

Today, we will test a total of 8 VPNs in China using 64-bit Windows 10 as the test device. The test is based on three dimensions: “server connection aging”, “server connection speed” and “server connection success rate”. to make observations. Since Windows is the most widely used system in China, I generally test mainly Win, with Mac and iPhone, etc. as a supplement. Hopefully, this test will serve as a reference for you to use.

Today‘s Test Catalog：
1、ExpressVPN Windows10 (Auto + Official recommend servers)
2、ExpressVPN Windows10 (IKEv2 + Random selection)
3、NordVPN Windows10 (NordLynx)
4、NordVPN Windows10 (OpenVPN-UDP)
5、IvacyVPN Windows10 (UDP + 5555)
6、PureVPN Windows10 (Network Free)
7、StrongVPN Windows10 (IKEv2)
8、StrongVPN Windows10 (WireGuard)
9、VyprVPN Windows10 (WireGuard)
10、Quick test about SurfsharkVPN and ProtonVPN；

Time efficiency: Time efficiency here refers to the time taken from clicking to connect to the server to the successful connection of the server.

Summary: Today’s official recommended Auto protocol method for ExpressVPN in Windows 10 and The IKEv2 protocol method found on this site has been tested. According to the test results show that both methods can be used at present, but I recommend that we still use the IKEv2 protocol experience! Better.

Summary: IvacyVPN’s App connection was tested in Win10 today. There are 12 servers in the Chinese version of the App, and I tested 6 of them. The server connection is very good, but the server speed needs to be improved. In addition, I suggest that you learn its manual configuration. The configured server can contact IvacyVPN to obtain the latest one so that double insurance is provided.

Summary: The PureVPN server was sampled and tested in Windows 10 today. The test sequence of the server is sorted according to Ping’s feedback time, and the virtual server is filtered. From the test results, the server connection success rate is not bad, but the speed of most servers is average. The speed of Luxembourg in Russia today is very good, and it is worth everyone to try. In addition, I suggest that you must learn its manual configuration method,

VyprVPN Windows Version: 4.0.0.10435    Protocol: WireGuard

At the same time, I simply tested SurfsharkVPN and ProtonVPN, and I am here only for the direct connection of the App in Windows 10. Previously, when testing SurfsharkVPN, because it was logged in, the test was unable to link successfully. Today, I don’t know why the account is logged out, and then I can’t log in. I also tried to bridge with other VPNs (ExpressVPN+IKEv2), but it still jumped out of the situation shown below.

ProtonVPN’s App directly connects with the previous situation. Today, there is no successful connection for more than ten minutes.
