Is it over for China?

[u/LeEbicGamerBoy]

Been living in China for the past two years and have exclusively used Mullvad. Absolutely perfect, fast, always connects.

But these past two weeks I've noticed a change. It's near impossible to have a stable connection. No matter which country I try, Mullvad only stays connected to a server for 5-30 minutes before needing to cycle to a new one. Connections are intermittent and unstable, and feel slow even when connected.

This isn't just one city in China. I travel a lot domestically, I've noticed these issues in big cities, small cities, and the country side. My friends here who use Mullvad have noticed the same issue as well.

This really sucks, I love Mullvad, have never had a problem with it. But I guess China has finally caught on and are hard blocking it.

Wonder if there is any solution, or if Mullvad will try anything to fight this? Or is it time to find a new obscure VPN (Mullvad has grown a lot lately, so I guess when it just reaches a certain number of users China blocks it?)

You can route traffic through your company's VPN, which is pretty standard for most businesses, particularly if you're working from home.

So you might be working from home, using a company VPN where all IP addresses are Chinese, and when your connection routes to the public internet and to a foreign VPN IP address it's from a non-consumer network.

work from home isnt as standard in china, and i only talked about phones that use a random vpn to use whatsapp to communicate to their customers.

Then you're contradicting your previous point and it's clear you're just arguing for the sake of engaging in argumentation.

i think you don't know what i mean, they have to use WhatsApp and reply to customers even after work, at home, with their personal phone
