The Chinese government is known for regulating the use of VPNs. Its systems could recognize that you’re using a VPN and block you. If you’re using PIA, you can change your VPN protocol to WireGuard®, which may help restore your connection.
If you’re still having trouble, reach out to our Customer Support team. We’re available 24/7 via live chat or email and always happy to help.
You need a high-level VPN for China. PIA VPN uses military-grade encryption to keep prying eyes off your traffic. Better still, our strict No Logs policy prevents us from saving – or sharing – your search history. That means if the Chinese government demanded to see your traffic history, we’d have nothing to show them.
Our built-in Kill Switch ensures your traffic and your IP never leaks even if unstable Wi-Fi (or anything else) interrupts your connection.
The Chinese government has blocked social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). It has also blocked news and information sites like the New York Times, Financial Times, Google News, and Wikipedia.
Google is also blocked. That includes YouTube, Google Search, PlayStore, Gmail, and Maps. However, you can use PIA’s China VPN to change your IP address and unblock websites.
Yes! Connect to our VPN server and instantly get a Chinese IP address, even if you’re traveling or living abroad. Stay up to date on your favorite iQiyi and Youku shows from anywhere in the world.
No, getting a Chinese IP address only disguises your location from the websites you visit. Connect to a PIA server to automatically encrypt your data, which does hide your activity from your ISP or government.
Upgrade your protection with our advanced VPN features. Our advanced Kill Switch stops your data from leaking out the secure tunnel, even if you’ve turned off the VPN.
You can, but it’s a bad idea. Given the state of internet privacy in China, you don’t want to skimp out on protection. Free VPNs often don’t have a No Logs policy, so they’ll hand your data over to the government. They're usually also too slow for high-bandwidth activities.
PIA is one of the fastest VPNs on the market and has the cutting-edge security features you need in China, like our No-Logs policy, which has been tested and proven in court. Give us a trial run with our 30-day money-back guarantee.
The Chinese government operates the Great Firewall, a vast censorship and surveillance program that controls what citizens see and do online. Chinese users are at risk of the government using their data as evidence in court to prosecute and even detain them.
PIA VPN automatically encrypts your data and masks your IP address to give you access to the unrestricted internet. Our strict No-Logs policy means we will never record any or your online activities or hand them over to anyone.
