You might like to surf to https://airvpn.org/, register an account for free and 
ask for a free trial.

Even if you aren't a subscriber of its services, you can still post your 
questions in its various sub-forums (URL: https://airvpn.org/forums/)

If you're unable to reach AirVPN using the above URL, you can use one of the 
following:

(1) airvpn.info
(2) airvpn.eu
(3) Onion address: 
https://airvpn3epnw2fnsbx5x2ppzjs6vxtdarldas7wjyqvhscj7x43fxylqd.onion/

The second VPN vendor that you might like to try is Mullvad which is based in 
Sweden (also one of the "14 Eyes" alliance). If you use Mullvad's proprietary 
app, you may wish to connect to its servers in Japan or the USA. Again my 
friends in China have reported very good download speeds when connecting to its 
servers in Japan and the USA.

Note #1:

You must use Tor Brower with onion addresses. (If you're in a country that 
blocks Tor, you can make use of Tor Browser's built-in features such as meek or 
snowflake to bypass host governments' censorship of Tor. Or simply ask Tor 
Browser to give you a private bridge to allow you to access Tor. My friends in 
China have no problems with using Tor Browser to access the internet using 
meek, snowflake or private bridges.)

Note #2:

I am not an employee of AirVPN (one of the "14 Eyes" alliance.)

Besides AirVPN, I have tried other VPN providers/vendors as have **my friends 
in China**. They told me that AirVPN works best because you are able to use 
OpenVPN over SSL or SSH (cf. 
https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/9149-how-to-use-advanced-airvpn-services-and-features/
 and read the sub-section in which it mentions OpenVPN over SSL or SSH.)

Note #3:

My friends in China are not ethnic Chinese but Caucasians and non-Chinese 
nationals of Western countries.

Note #4 (very important note)

Using a VPN service provided by a VPN provider/vendor that isn't approved by 
the Chinese government is illegal and if you're caught, you may face severe 
punitive punishments, including jail time. So far no foreigner of a Western 
country has been caught and punished for violating this Chinese law as 
otherwise Reuters, AFP, etc. would have reported it.

Best wishes.

Stella

P.S.: If you can, avoid posting to this mailing list using HTML format. The 
traditional format for posting to mailing lists is plain text such as this 
reply of mine. Many years ago posts that were in HTML format would be 
automatically rejected or bounced by mailing lists' providers.
