Travelling behind the Great Firewall? Here is how a VPN keeps you connected to the services you rely on, and what to set up before you land.
China blocks a long and shifting list of Western services — search, social, email, news and more. A VPN routes your connection out of the country through an encrypted tunnel, so those services load as if you were home.
Set it up before you go
Install and test the SlickVPN client while you still have open access. App stores and VPN websites can be hard to reach once you have arrived, so arrive ready.
Choose a nearby gateway such as Singapore for the best speeds, and keep a second location in reserve in case one is congested. With unlimited bandwidth you can stream, call and work without watching a meter.
