It has been more than a month since I last tested StrongVPN, and from the last test, its APP direct connection could not be connected. Today I will use Windows devices as the test platform and test StrongVPN’s APP direct connection and then test its OpenVPN Gui as well. If its OpenVPN test goes well, I will pay more attention to it and add its OpenVPN Gui connection to the regular test. I hope this test will be helpful to all readers.

- Best 4 VPN in China, OMG, Just only one！ - On March 21, 2022, China VPN test will be conducted on a Windows 10 device today. The test VPNs include ExpressVPN, PureVPN, StrongVPN, and AtlasVPN. If there is enough time, we will test others. Each VPN will indicate its App version number, connection protocol and other information at the beginning before the test. As a result, the number of VPNs tested this time is large, so each VPN will usually randomly check 5-10 servers in different regions. If there are officially recommended servers, it will be explained in the test. If you have any questions, you can leave a message (anonymous) to communicate.

StrongVPN OpenVPN GUI – UDP(1194) Manual Test：
Since I did not find a server optimized specifically for China’s wall on StrongVPN’s website, the servers I tested below were randomly selected.
- USA – Atlanta: Failed. (Try once)
- USA – Miami: Failed. (Try once)
- USA – San Francisco: Failed. (Try once)
- USA – Seattle: Failed. (Try once)
- UK – London: Failed. (Try once)
- Taiwan – Taipei: Failed. (Try once)
In summary: From the above, StrongVPN should be completely blocked in China at the moment. Of course it’s possible that I didn’t find the right way. I just emailed the official customer service for advice, and I hope they can give some solutions.
Today’s Test Score：☆
Important supplement: After I contacted the official customer service, they sent me a Chinese version of Window specifically for use in China. The connection was successful. I tested it and it can be connected over the wall. The specific speed and server connection success rate have not been tested yet. I will schedule a test as soon as possible. I will continue to consult the official customer service for the connection method of other devices, and I will post to you as soon as I have news.
