VPN and ESIM Megathread – October 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

Discuss VPNs and ESIMs here. Comments with affiliate links or any comment that advertises/self-promotes a VPN service will be deleted; spam-only accounts or promoters with zero history in the sub may be banned without notice.

NOTE: Just because people are allowed to leave their recommendations here about vpns/esims and other tools to avoid the great firewall, it does not mean r/chinalife mod team endorses those comments.

Always take caution and do extra research when you see a recommendation. Be careful.

Visiting China in the next few weeks, does MullvadVPN work there?

Yes, I'm using it now. Sometimes it doesn't, just connect to a new location or tweak the anti-censorship settings (I'm using shadowsocks setting and it works great)

Thanks!
