The Great Chinese Firewall is growing
I am a senior foreign expert working in China in university life-sciences research and have met many other foreign experts over the past three years. The policy of the Chinese government is to 'shield' the general Chinese population from the negative aspects of western culture. Which translates to mean that many foreign websites are blocked. Most foreign experts are given unfiltered access to western websites and middle class Chinese and foreign experts have depended on VPN services to tunnel thru the Great Firewall. I never ask to exemption to the Great Firewall, but have depended on VPN services because it adds additional security for sensitive bank information! Government policy, since the last change of government in China, has been to strengthen the Great Firewall so all VPN software has a hard time tunneling thru the firewall. I tested GoTrusted and found that it tunnels much faster than ExpressVPN and the process is effortless because little keyboard input is expected from the user. Connection is faster than ExpressVPN which requires frequent keyboard entry to try another 'tunnel path' so I give GoTrusted 4 stars for speed of connection. But GoTrusted frequently disconnects (8 to 15 times per hour) whereas ExpressVPN, once connected is good for 24 h in some locations in China and for an hour or two in other locations in China. So for stability I give GoTrusted only 2 stars. AVERAGE rating 3-stars.
