July 6, 2021 China VPN Test: The China-specific version of StrongVPN will be tested today in both Windows 10 and Macbook devices. The China firewall did not have a very serious blockage in July, but it did have a significant impact on many VPNs. One of the most recent events is the “Lightyear VPN” Google and Apple App Store shelves, telegraphing customer service cancellation, and the probability of their money running away. For users who use these unsafe tools to break through the firewall, it seems to me that the loss of some money is secondary, but a series of omissions in the privacy information leaked during your use will persist.
The daily speed test will help you understand three things:
1. the success rate of the VPN’s server connection in the device under test.
2. the server connection time of the VPN in the tested device.
3. the speed of the VPN after a successful connection to the server in the device under test.

Checking out multiple test reports can help you understand more effectively how this VPN works in the long run.
- 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.
- Win10 StrongVPN and Client Version test in China - January 25, 2022 VPN China test. StrongVPN is one of the very resilient VPNs on my test VPN list. Their StrongVPN Client App versions are preferred as the primary connection tool in Macbook, Windows, and Android. Since my testing, I have not been unable to connect. Due to the audit rules of IOS App, unfortunately, there is no "Client" version for the time being, so you need to connect through manual configuration. However, the international version of the app is currently available for direct connection. You can read all the test reports about StrongVPN on this site, there are 66 of them so far.
- Best VPN for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China - The IOC told the Voice of America via email that, China has granted foreign athletes and accredited foreign media participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics access to "open internet services" at the athletes' village, competition-related venues, and contracted media hotels. You can connect and use networks and social platforms (Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Signal, etc.) in China that are blocked by the Great Firewall of the Internet.
- StrongVPN iOS/iPhone App test in China - December 8, 2021 China VPN connection test, StrongVPN for mainland China to break through the Great Firewall, in Windows, MacOS, Android currently has two options for connection. The first is the official recommendation to use its mainland China-specific version of StrongVPN Client, a method that is stable for a long time. According to recent tests, the international version of StrongVPN can also be connected in the above three devices, please see the recent "StrongVPN Daily Speed Test" test report for details. The official Client version is not available in IOS, it needs to be manually configured to connect, the specific method can refer to the "StrongVPN can not connect solution (zh)", there are detailed tutorials in the text. This time, I hope to test the connection through the international version of StrongVPN App in IOS. If you have questions, you can leave a message (anonymous) to exchange.
- StrongVPN and Client Version Macbook test in China - December 3, 2021 China VPN test, today will be a VPN test in Macbook for StrongVPN's China version (StrongVPN Client) and International version (StrongVPN). Yesterday, we tested both versions in Windows, and the results were good. Now it would be great if you can successfully connect to flip through the international version (StrongVPN) in MacOS as well. Before testing, we checked the version of both apps in MacOS and confirmed that they are the latest version. If you have any questions, you can leave a comment (anonymous) to exchange.
- StrongVPN Client and internetional Win test in China - December 2, 2021 China VPN test will be conducted today in Windows 10 for StrongVPN's China-specific version (StrongVPN Client) and international version (StrongVPN). Previously, for a longer period of time, StrongVPN (Win/Mac/Android) users in China were connected through its dedicated version (StrongVPN Client), but IOS needed to be connected through manual configuration. If StrongVPN is able to restore the international version, then IOS will also get the App direct connection restored. This is positive for StrongVPN on either device. I'll follow up with test reports on StrongVPN International for other devices, because Windows has the largest number of users, so it's the first place to start. If you have any questions, you can leave a message (anonymous) to communicate.

Windows10’s Summary: 7 US servers were randomly selected for testing in the China version of Windows, and as you can see from the screenshots below, StrongVPN has nearly half of the US servers to choose from. There are also servers from other regions, and the principle of server selection is that unless there is a requirement for regional IP, it is recommended to give priority to servers in the US, because usually the servers in that region have the best speed.

Macbook’s Summary: Macbook servers have more options than Windows, as shown in the screenshot below in the MacOS version StrongVPN lists different servers in each region separately (e.g. Miami #301, Miami #302, Miami #303, etc.). In the Mac test, 9 servers were randomly selected and their Time efficiency was 6-7s (the time between clicking on the connection to start timing and the successful connection), there were some differences in the speed of different servers, but overall it was still very good. I hope it will continue to maintain such a good situation.

Summary: StrongVPN’s performance in Windows and MacOS is very good, and this is the result of the test of connection by its Chinese version of the App. Unfortunately, IOS must be manually configured with IKEv2 in order to connect, and they have not yet released a China-specific version of the app for IOS, so you can read this article for the IOS configuration tutorial: StrongVPN Unable to Connect Solution(zh). For those who wish to download the China-specific version for Windows, MacOS, and Android devices, you can click to view: VPN Download(zh), which was sent to me by customer service, I just found a cloud storage to facilitate the download. If you are worried about its security, you can also contact StrongVPN customer service for it by yourself, you can’t find the download page on the official.
