I'm gonna spend some years studying in Nanjing, and i kinda need a vpn recommendations that is more stable than the others.
I don't need it to be very fast or very stable since i'm only gonna use it for instagram, What's app, youtube, and probably downloading steam video games.
I know vpn is a hit or miss, but is there any student budget vpn that is frequently able to connect ?.
Hi everyone,
I have recently set up an Oracle cloud VM ( Ubuntu in 1 ARM core + 6gb RAM) and was able to create a Wireguard VPN. I mainly want to use this VPN to access my home services and other devices ( my personal laptop, Android phone).
But due to my outside work habit where I usually go to public libraries or coffee shops, I just realize that certain public Wifi ( from one system of libraries) just plainly blocks ssh connection ( on port 2222) and wireguard connection. I cannot ssh into my vps and the wireguard VPN doesn't work.
Without caring a dime about each of these public place network system or setting, what is my next best option to bypass these kind of restrictions without much tinkering and configuring? I am not that experienced or seasoned user but willing to explore. I read and find that openvpn over tcp on port 443 would be one option? or some setup with Vless/xray but sounds overkill? how about AmneziaWireguard?
Thanks.
recently i moved to another country and i started to have issues with the internet (need VPN for almost everything), so i've been digging on network stuff trying to figure out how to make things work but i'm not happy with my current set up (second attached image)
that's why i come here with my questions..
for context: i have ZERO knowlege of programming or network stuff. i'm a ui designer with passion for movies so that's what keeps me going on setting this up. i learn fast and i have some notions about how things work but i'd like to ask: what should i learn/study to achieve my desired setup? (first image attached)
i work 7 days a week so i only have 1-2 hours to study before going to work, that's why i want to know what exactly i should look for. i have asked AI, but it just gives me a step by step process on how to make it and i don't want to follow instructions without knowing what am i doing
i've seen people here mention routers, tailscale, and proxmox, which i have used at some point but i'm not entierly sure how they work or how to use them properly.
i have a proxmox server running on the same laptop i intend to use as a NAS/homelab server but the whole configuration in there was made by a neighbor who was kind enough to help but that's about it
thanks so much for any help in advance
Hi everyone!
I’m a girlie moving to China for several months and I need to pick a VPN before i leave. I know I’ll need it for Google, Gmail, Insta, WhatsApp & other everyday services, but i also read lots of BL/yaoi, manhwa, fanfics & other international content that might be blocked or censored in China.
I also watch Asian dramas and other shows on various streaming sites, some of them… kinda unofficial 😅 I’m not specifically asking for site recs (I definitely wouldn’t complain tho🤭) I just want a VPN that can handle this kind of browsing & streaming.
Is anyone else in a similar situation? Which VPN works best for reading on unofficial sites, streaming & everyday apps?
If you’ve personally used one in China (not HongKong) Il'love to hear your recs!
🎀*bonus points if you also need your comfort BL content to survive abroad 😂
Tanks cuties luv u🫶❤️
I currently use a commercial "airport" proxy to pass the GFW. I use Clash Verge (desktop) and Clash Meta (Android) with configs from my provider.
I am wondering how to chain this with Tailscale?
I'd like to be able to bypass the GFW using the airport service, and then still connect to a Tailscale network and use an exit node from inside there.
The ultimate goal is to be able to browse the internet via my home IP. The setup for this is Tailscale because back home I currently don't have a static IP nor access to the router to setup port forwarding etc.
How could I set this up? Is it even possible?
Seeing the usual “what still works?” threads plus a lot of VLESS/Reality / 3X-UI / router questions lately.
Curious what people would actually hand a normal friend (not a homelab person) in Aug 2026:
Constraints: they need something that still works after one provider gets burned, and they won’t debug Xray SNIs at 1am.
What would you put on a one-page cheat sheet for them? What’s the first thing that usually fails for newcomers?
I'm going to live there for 6 months soon and I desperately need a VPN. Heard that Let'sVPN got taken down and doesn't work anymore. Also my phone doesn't support esims. Any suggestion?
Hey everyone, I’m Chinese, a new to Linux. I don’t currently have a reliable way to access sites and services that are blocked in my region, so there are some things I can’t really do.
Are there any plug-and-play, beginner-friendly VPN or proxy tools for Linux? Paid options are fine as long as they’re not too expensive.
I’m not looking to set up my own VPS just yet, since I still have a few months left on my current VPN subscription. 🥲
This feels like it could be an absolutely dumb question but I know nothing about tech.
It worked for me yesterday, but I had to change the "Target" from sony to microsoft. Then it stopped working.
I've triple checked everything and even rebuilt the entire thing from scratch, but for the Client, I switched on "Start After First Use", and it would say "Inbound client has been updated." but then "Failed to Fetch".
If I close it and reopen, the "Start After First Use" is off again. I can't turn it on at all.
Has anyone had the same issue? I'd be super grateful to anyone who can help me solve the problem and get my VPN to work...
