中国でVPNが機能しないのはなぜですか?
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
中国に到着してVPNを開いても、まったく接続できない、または接続はできてもトラフィックが読み込まれません。
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
中国のGreat Firewallは市販のVPNプロトコルの大部分を積極的に探知してブロックしており、無料VPNやメンテナンスされていないOpenVPN設定は、到着から数日以内にブロックされます。
✓ HOW TO FIX
中国入国前に、オブフuscation機能を備えた有料VPNを2つインストールし(Astrill StealthVPN、LetsVPN、またはNordVPN obfuscated)、一つが不通になったらサーバーを切り替えてください。

VPN for China
Astrill, LetsVPN, and NordVPN are the most reliable VPNs in China in 2026; install before arrival because the App Store blocks downloads inside China.
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.
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.
