How does a VPN work in China?
Each device that connects to the network has its own unique IP address, which determines the provider that provides Internet access, its location, and often contact information. In addition, information is collected from browsers about which sites you visit more often, what data you enter on them, what operating system is installed, PC hardware, and much more. Often this information is stored in browser cookies.

So, when you visit any resource on the global web, it will already know a lot of information about you, the device used, the provider, your tastes, etc.and all this by IP and data that the browser transmits about you.
When you connect via VPN and go to a site, the following happens:

The IP that the provider gave you is used to connect to the VPN server via an encrypted channel
In a virtual network, you are given a different IP address, it can be absolutely anything, even from Brazil
Traffic is encrypted and no one sees it
Then you connect to resources and various sites using a new IP address
Thus, the site you visited has no idea where you are actually from. If they try to hack you, they will hack your IP, just the same from Brazil.

And this happens with absolutely any connection on the Internet, whether it's a website or an online game. No one will know who you are or where you come from, which portals you prefer, which devices you use more often, and a lot of other confidential information.

As a result, you will see the site, resource, can play online games, but they will not be able to see you, your exact information. You can visit resources that are even blocked in your country or provider.

Unfortunately, they don't have a free trial period, but you can try Surfshark without risk by taking advantage of a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Moreover, they currently offer an unlimited number of connections for each account, and this offer, we believe, they will keep for existing users, but will not offer as a standard feature for a long time. If you need to connect multiple devices at the same time, we suggest you register now.

For ease of configuration, VPN services resort to redirecting the connection from the domain to the IP address. In this case, the server address looks like a domain, for example: usvpn.vpnservice-website.com

This is convenient for the company's system administrators, because if you change the IP address of the VPN server, the connection will still work for all users.

All Internet service providers record user actions on the Internet. They will know that you are connecting to the domain usvpn.vpnservice-website.com and this connection directly indicates that you are using a VPN.

Free cheese is only in a mousetrap, and if each VPN service has a paid PRO version, then in the free version, users will certainly be limited in some way. For many, these restrictions do not play a big role – if you are not afraid of advertising or traffic limits, you can safely download any of the list. https://bestvpnforchina.co/free-vpn/
Since the popularity of free VPN IS quite large, and there are not many servers, it is logical that many users will have the same IP address. Because of this, sites that do not allow you to have more than one account may decide that you are violating their rules. Although in fact someone else with the same IP address recently registered.

Choosing the right VPN for your needs actually comes down to three main factors:

How much data do you need per month?
How many devices do you need to protect?
What countries do you need?
For us, these are the main aspects that will determine whether a VPN is suitable for you. Of course, there are other factors that affect the quality of a VPN, such as the privacy policy, the speed of the connection, how convenient they are for the user, and so on.

Ask yourself these simple questions before you start searching for a suitable VPN, and this will save you the hassle in the long run.

When you first download a VPN, it will ask you where you want to be. This means that you can choose exactly where your local network is located. Great for people who want to access geo-blocked sites. A VPN effectively changes your IP and masks your real location to make it look like you are connecting from somewhere else.
