What is a VPN?#
"VPN" refers to the act of using VPN services to bypass the Great Firewall of China and access blocked websites. Although this method allows users to overcome censorship and enjoy a freer internet experience, it also faces challenges related to 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 common term used by internet users in China, 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 originally use them to bypass China's internet censorship, but due to the provider "going offline," they lose their tools to access the internet.
Recommended Affordable and High-Performance VPNs#
Here are some well-reviewed "affordable and high-performance" 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 of only 9.9 yuan for 140G of monthly traffic. Light users can also purchase their monthly plan of 6 yuan for 60G of traffic.

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

Below are some newer VPNs that offer high cost-performance#
These VPNs are very inexpensive and have a high cost-performance ratio, but the risk of them going offline is relatively higher. Please make your own judgment; it is recommended to first purchase a monthly plan, use it for a while, and then consider 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 there, and after registering an account, it is recommended to follow their Telegram channel to receive timely notifications when the domain changes.
I recommend this provider because their prices are incredibly cheap; you can get 150GB of monthly traffic for just 4.9 yuan, which feels like it could go offline at any time. Although the annual payment is even cheaper, I still recommend monthly payments, as it would be a loss if they went offline.
