    Here's a very quick review on 12vpn:

    Rambling thoughts about nothing really: 12vpn - quick review

    You may want to contact the guy who runs the service though, he's been very approachable when I've had questions.

    Are you in China?

    This 12vpn dude is based in China as well and he's optimised his service for China.

    sorry, I'm not trying to plug the service, but suspect its what you are looking for.

    Irony that blogger is blocked in China (well not really).

    12vpn has the goods .

    been testing them for hours now and its a single consistent speed with no dropouts

    I would strongly advise u to download freegate or ultrasurf, thats what Chinese dissendents use, so u know they are good! Hotspot shield is also widely used in China, but it can load ur computer up with adware, u can also download a program called xb browser, but its pretty slow. But always keep something as ur backup, because even the best ones become useless after awhile and normally the gov blocks sites where u can download the upgrades.

    Hope that helps, it can be furstrating living behind the great firewall

    Just signed up for 12VPN and it works well... also had your Twitter recommendation posted

    Can you use the account on more than one computer? As the subscription is based on data usage I'd hope you can.

    Hi

    A bit late coming to this discussion! I am looking for a good vpn that gives me a HK IP address (rules out 12vpn) and works well in China. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Tks in advance.
