Mengapa VPN saya tiba-tiba lambat atau terputus di China?
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
VPN Anda berfungsi selama 3 hari pertama dan sekarang terputus setiap 10 menit, atau halaman dimuat dengan kecepatan seperti dial-up.
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
ISP di China mendeteksi dan membatasi protokol VPN (terutama OpenVPN dan WireGuard) pada jam sibuk. StealthVPN dari Astrill dan protokol milik LetsVPN bertahan paling lama.
✓ HOW TO FIX
Beralihlah ke server/lokasi lain (Hong Kong, Jepang, US West biasanya paling cepat dari China). Ubah protokol ke mode "Stealth" atau "Obfuscated" di aplikasi VPN Anda. Jika VPN Anda mati selama 24+ jam, gunakan cadangan — kebanyakan pelancong membawa 2 langganan VPN berbayar.

SIM & eSIM
Tourist eSIMs from Airalo, Holafly, and Nomad give 7–30 days of China data for $5–$30 without passport registration at a Chinese store.
