Over 15 free VPN apps on Google Play were found using a malicious software development kit that turned Android devices into unwitting residential proxies, likely used for cybercrime and shopping bots.

In China there are lot of home brewed solutions like openclash, passwall, vmess…etc. Traditional commercial VPNs are too expensive or suck in China.
Yeah the problem I have with those is that they are mostly run by Chinese, be it on- or offshore, and they can be compromised or extorted. And any service that accepts payment via alipay is sketchy in my books.

SS on AWS is easy to be found and blocked, try Trojan, Hysteria v2, V2Ray…, I had one of V2Ray on GCP hong kong, and it lasted for a very long time.
Usually GCP and Azure has the best connection to CN.
Have you ever been to China? I have been lived in China for many years, actually no much complains of my very own experience so far.
And I’d been to US, Indonesia, Thailand…and the worst experience I had is in US, each time I visited there, there were gunshot incidents happened nearby, and homeless people, bad smell on subway…I am not saying all US places are like this, I only visited CA, some places are cool, but I definitely won’t go out alone after 8pm in the dark.

It’s opensource, You can get a vps and run your own, very easy and the speed is enough to watch 4k youtube.
I had a shadowsocks server on a vps, was dead after a few weeks. Hosted on AWS Hong Kong (before China took over). They blacklist IPs very quickly.

Interesting, thanks! My astrill subscription is still running for a couple months, but will test it as a fallback.

LOL, China is not that bad, and the GFW is easy to break through anyway.
