VPN and ESIM Megathread – August 2026
Astrill & Wannaflix are good services. ExpressVPN and Surfshark have never worked and are trash VPNs. Only use services with VLESS-Reality, Shadowsocks, (sometimes Trojan / Xray / V2Ray). Also, these are NOT apps! These are configurations/protocols for VPN/Proxy programs like FlClash, Shadowrocket,

Using a VPN reduced my ping from ~450ms to ~22ms consistently
Nice, good to hear, this is a routing issue not a speed issue where your fix makes sense. Saw this pattern with Cablevision/Optimum infrastructure before. Saw similar improvements after moving to ExpressVPN on the router. Latency usually drops not because the VPN is faster, but because it bypassed t

Do I have any hope of actually getting to be a Sharks fan in the streaming era?
I tried express vpn in the past and it just kept getting blocked. Is it better now?

long term vpn china?
If you're going to be in China for years, I'd honestly skip the free options. Free VPNs tend to get blocked fast or sell your data. For long term stability you're better off with a paid service that actively updates its servers. Astrill is still the most reliable for China, including Chengdu. It's e

When I use any VPN I can't connect to any site using cloudflare.
I see that sometimes with both ExpressVPN and AirVPN. If it’s a site that accepts my payments, I complain and send them diagnostic info. If they tell me to drop my VPN connection, I explain that as a former security engineer, that would open my system to security threats. They usually open it up, bu

VPN and ESIM Megathread – August 2026
Currently in China, ExpressVPN and Surfshark both are borderline unusable. Any recommendations? T-Mobile roaming plan any good?
