Every October is a nightmare for flipping users in mainland China, but this year was also relatively good compared to previous years. But it is not without impact. I’ve seen some of the wall-flipping tools on the web running out of steam. Today I would like to conduct a more comprehensive test of SurfsharkVPN’s wall flip in Windows 10 to see if its app direct connection still works well and if OpenVPN Gui’s connection provides long and stable service for users, and I hope this test will be useful to you.

- SurfsharkVPN Win10 Test in China-20210226 - Recently a reader left a comment for me that SurfshrkVPN was having connection issues and wanted me to test it again. Today I will test SurfsharkVPN's connection in Windows 10 using a third party manual configuration of OpenVPN Gui. In addition, if you want to know how to connect SurfshrkVPN for IOS, MacOS and Android in China, you can read this article "SurfSharkVPN can't connect solution". Before the test I went to the SF official website to check its latest announcement of the server situation for users in mainland China and there is no difference. So this test I will test the previous configuration of the server to see the current connection and VPN connection after the speed of these servers.

For those who are not SurfshrkVPN users, it can also be an important reference when choosing a VPN. If there is time, I will also test their app direct connect as well. Because several readers have mentioned to me before that SurfsharkVPN can be connected directly via the app...

Summary: Today I did a more comprehensive test of SurfsharkVPN in Windows 10. The first one was a direct connection via the app, but it doesn’t seem to be very good, much worse than before, and I don’t know if it has anything to do with the October network lockdown. In addition, I manually configured the connection to OpenVPN Gui, but it should be noted that the server I configured was a long time ago and not the latest. Also I’ve put both the latest officially configured server and the configured server I tested in this article: SurfSharkVPN Unable to Connect Solution.
SurfsharkVPN Win10 Version: 2.7.3; Protocol: Automatic/IKEv2
Today’s Test Score: ★ ★
