Are the best VPN's out there Astrill and Let's VPN?

hey everyone, after doing some research on the sub, i’ve finally figured the whole alipay- wechat thing, but there’s still something worrying me about the VPN’s, cause lot of people tell me different things, and from what i’ve igures, the performance can change from time to time

Are the ones i mentioned in the title the best in the market right now?

in this case, i was travelling with 4 friends, and we were planning on doing this: getting 4 let’s VPN, in total, and then buying an account of astrill between all of us, just in case one/ or more fail. We are doing this because even though it’s expensive, it can handle up to 5 connected users, so this way we’re all covered twice. Does this seem fine? is ot overreacting or?

We really don’t want to find problems when we get there. Which one do you suggest us to use if those 2 aren’t the best options?

Thanks so much

I got Mullvad, allows up to 5 devices. Am in CN now and 4 of us are using it.

China is heterogeneous and unpredictable. Sometimes I had to turn off VPN in order to connect. Or even turn off the Iphone privacy stuff. I tried to use NordVPN without much luck but I didn’t try hard — I just switched to local sim and local apps, which were much faster anyway. I did roam (on at&t intl day pass) and everything worked great without a VPN. It was slow but it worked.

I’ve just started using Surfshark. It’s working on my mobile devices but not on my laptop.

Have a look in r/dumbclub as that’s the best place to look
