Pourquoi ne puis-je pas accéder à mon application bancaire sur le Wi-Fi chinois ?
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
Votre application bancaire ou fintech refuse de se connecter ou affiche un avertissement « réseau non sécurisé » dès que vous rejoignez le Wi-Fi d'un hôtel ou d'un café.
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
De nombreuses applications bancaires occidentales bloquent les connexions provenant de plages d'IP chinoises par mesure anti-fraude, et le Wi-Fi à portail captif injecte du trafic qui déclenche leurs heuristiques de sécurité.
✓ HOW TO FIX
Passez par votre VPN pour vous connecter à votre pays d'origine avant d'ouvrir l'application bancaire, ou utilisez les données mobiles en itinérance, que votre banque reconnaît comme légitimes.

Portable WiFi
Rent a portable 4G/5G WiFi hotspot at the airport for ¥30–80/day, returnable at any major airport, useful for groups of 2–4 travelers.
