Hey,
My fiancée is in China due to work right now.
She has a German phone, German sim card, and a German VPN with access to more than 60 servers in many different countries.
However, she cant connect. No matter what she does, it tells her the connection timed out. I talked to the tech support and they were of no help at all.
Google, WhatsApp and other things do not work. Can anyone recommend a no frill VPN, doesnt matter what it costs, that will enable her to use google, whatsapp etc?
The dude on the phone told me “We cant do anything unless she calls us and gives us access to her phone”: That would be more expensive than just getting a different VPN that works right away.
Anyone got any tips? I’m at my wits’ end.
Usually in the VPN program you can pick a connection method. Try to play around there.
Yeah, she tried that. The methods were “WireGuard”, “IKEv2”, and “IPSec” and none of them worked.
There’s a reason why it’s called “The Great Firewall…” China is very good at controlling their internet and making sure their people can’t access the outside internet.
