Which VPN for a month in China?

Doliphant · 2026-09-13 · Message 1 of 3

Hey there, In the sea of VPNs, I'm looking for one to use in China for just a month (free or paid). Which one should I pick? All the ones I've found are for several months or even a year.

Thanks for your tips!

The best option is to get a roaming package (like unlimited with Free) or an eSIM like Airalo, Holafly, or similar.

Hi there,

Last February, I used the free version of Proton VPN. It worked. Except for connecting to VF. Because this site blocks VPN connections. But it also often blocks connections coming from China without a VPN, seeing them as suspicious activity. 😏

Since my smartphone doesn’t support eSIMs, I also had Bouygues’ China plan. That worked really well.

As for eSIMs, I saw that Alipay offered plans for much cheaper that let you access sites usually blocked for Chinese users (WhatsApp, Google, etc.).
