Hichitsuki-hime Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Been playing from Russia for almost 4 years now, but have to move to China for a year. Heard a lot about how you can't access SW:TOR from China (still going to try, but better be prepared lol). So, can anyone recommend a good VPN to use? Never had to use one before, so could really use some good advice please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaras Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ Only $40.00 for the year, and for that you can use it on up to 5 different devices (including mobile) simultaneously. Can't recommend it enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draqsko Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Try asking on the Customer Service forum, Woody or Owen hang around there and they could probably recommend one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevenavasovic Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I lived in China for a few months and no, you really can't use BW products in general unless you're in Hong Kong. Mainland China has heavy restrictions on what you can and can't use (google, intagram, facebook... and such.) I've used ExpressVPN but what you have to understand is that Chinese internet is... not that good for the most part. So when you're in China and you're using a VPN to connect to Hong Kong it's gonna give you lag and a lot of issues. I've had to get up at 4am (Chinese time) because strangely, that's when the connection clears up and I had the least lag. During the day though, good luck, honestly. There's so many of them that the wifi or even cable connection is kind of horrible. Running Voice chat and playing was torture. I had 100000 lag at times and here's the example http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/nmelikenoother/media/Screenshot_2014-12-07_13_43_06_173978_zpse75cf267.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
