What is a VPN?#
"VPN" refers to the act of using VPN services to bypass the Chinese internet firewall and access blocked websites. While this method allows users to break through censorship and enjoy a freer internet experience, it also faces challenges regarding stability and legality. It is important to note that the use of VPN tools must comply with local laws and regulations.
VPN Providers Going Offline#
"VPN providers going offline" is a commonly used term among Chinese internet users, referring to situations where some VPN service providers suddenly stop their services, shut down their platforms, or evade responsibility. Typically, users have purchased VPN services from these providers, and after payment, they could use them to bypass China's internet censorship, but due to the provider "going offline," they lose their tools to access the internet.
Recommendations for Affordable and High-Quality VPNs#
Here are some highly-rated "affordable and high-quality" VPN services (commonly referred to as "VPNs"). It is important to note that the stability and availability of VPNs may change over time, so please pay attention to real-time user reviews and the latest status of the providers when making a selection.
Xingchen VPN#
A VPN that has been operating stably for several years, with a reasonable price. For only 9.9 yuan, you can use 140GB of data per month, and light users can also purchase their 60GB plan for 6 yuan per month.

Mojie VPN#
Also a VPN that has been operating stably for several years, focusing on pay-as-you-go billing. The purchased data has no expiration date and is available until used up. It is very suitable for light users; spending 14.9 yuan for 130GB of data with no time limit may last a year for occasional use, making it a good option as a backup VPN.

Below are some recommendations for VPNs that are not very old but offer great value#
These VPNs are very cheap and have a high cost-performance ratio, but they also carry a relatively higher risk of going offline. Please make your own judgment; it is recommended to first purchase a monthly plan and use it for a while before considering whether to buy more favorable quarterly or annual plans.
Liuliangguang VPN#
A VPN that has been established for over a year. Many people said it went offline a few months ago, but it actually just changed its domain name. The original user data is still intact, and after registering an account, it is recommended to follow their Telegram channel to receive timely notifications when the domain name changes.
I recommend this provider because their prices are incredibly cheap; you can get 150GB of data for just 4.9 yuan per month, a price that feels like it could go offline at any time. Although annual payments can be even cheaper, I still recommend monthly payments, as it would be a loss if they went offline.
