Today I’m going to be running a connection flip test on the Chinese version of IvacyVPN’s IvacyVPN Prime app version and the manually configured version of the OpenVPN GUI using Windows 10 as the test device. The two connection methods will allow you to see their advantages and disadvantages more directly and clearly. However, I would like to point out that this is not yet a period of wall-climbing crackdown, and if it is, I would generally recommend using manual configuration to connect, as the stability and success rate will be relatively good. I hope this test will be of reference value to you.

Summary: IvacyVPN Prime is available for Windows 10 in China, and although there are several servers that cannot connect, the speed of some of them is good. One of the good things about this app is that the “time efficiency” is quite short, which saves you a lot of time looking for available servers.

Summary: Today I ran a connection and speed test on the manual OpenVPN GUI configuration of IvacyVPN in Windows 10. From the test results, while some servers were able to connect successfully, they were not fast. As a manually configured connection, it can only achieve this connection success rate and speed, which is not ideal. Hopefully, IvacyVPN officials will fix the issue as soon as possible so as to provide a better user experience.
