The goal of today’s test is to test whether Window 10 has restored the app’s direct connection to the flip wall. And secondly, to test how the third-party manual OpenVPN Gui to achieve the flip wall in Win10 actually works now. When testing the app direct connection, if I find that it is available or some protocol is available, I will explain the test in more detail, if I quickly test it and find that it is still unavailable, then I will directly publish the results of a device test. I hope this test will be useful to you.
Note: There will be a major firewall upgrade blocking event in late September – early October!
Barry’s nag: I’ve been hoping to convey a message to my readers that the firewall will be around for the foreseeable future; with it, using any VPN or other tool in China is a dynamic process and there’s no one-and-done solution. That’s why I keep updating the [Daily Test] section. The purpose of the test is to tell you the real usage of the changed VPN at the moment, whether it is available or not, and I will tell you so. In order to speed up the testing, I will be running only SpeedTest tests on it as it is only a reference for the speed test.

Win10 NordVPN App Connection test:
Starting Time: Sep 22, 2020, 1:52 PM
Version: 6.31.5.0
The following protocol: NordLynx
Quick connect – Canada #3192: Failed; (Try once)
USA #5086: Failed; (Try once)
UK #2005: Failed; (Try once)
Taiwan #126: Failed; (Try once)
Singapore #2191: Failed; (Try once)
Japan #542: Failed; (Try once)
The following protocol: OpenVPN (UDP)
When I switch the connection protocol to the “OpenVPN (UDP) Recommended” option, whether I click on “Quick connect” or go to any of the servers to connect, the following box pops up in the bottom right corner of Win10: “Failed to get NordLynx configuration NordVPN”. The following message box pops up in the bottom right corner of Win10: “Failed to get NordLynx configuration NordVPN”. Therefore, it’s confirmed that the “OpenVPN (UDP) Recommended” will not work for Windows 10 in mainland China.
Win10 NordVPN OpenVPN GUI Test:
Starting Time: Sep 22, 2020, 2:22 PM
The following test will use OpenVPN, a third-party open-source software, to manually configure NordVPN to connect to the wall. If you need it, you can click here: Here is the official download address (local download). It provides a total of 12 servers with UDP protocol for you to use for wall-climbing, and I will follow the official default server naming for testing. If you do not know how to configure, please refer to the tutorial: NORDVPN WINDOWS manual configuration tutorial.

Win10 Summary: The above test mainly focuses on the actual situation of using NordVPN for flip-flop testing in mainland China from the app direct connection and manual configuration software OpenVPN Gui. According to the test results, NordVPN’s new protocol, NordLynx, does not work well in mainland China. However, it would be wrong to assume that NordVPN is not available in mainland China, as its manual configuration scheme is actually available all the time, and its stability and speed are also good. The other reason to use NordVPN is that it’s cheaper, of course.
