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.

- 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.

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.
