$20 voucher! Forget it!!

My VPN cannot penetrate the Great Firewall through the Hilton Xi'An wifi...only my data SIM card can...have ~ 5 GB left for remaining 6 days in China :( Somehow the Hilton WiFi disconnecrs my VPN :(

I have now been in China for 11 days, with a week to go. Based on my personal ewperiences so far, if intending to use a VPN, setup before arriving. If buying a non Chinese data SIM, by at least double the anount you would normally use. Set up both WeChat Pay and AliPay linked to your credit...

This is referring to hotel wifi...the physical SIM i bought works fine just that Im running out of dara for this 4 week trip...temporary solution found ..see above post

So far for last 2-3 days, VPN routed via Philipines allows me to access all sites via hotel wifi saving my SiM data.

An AFFer repurted seeing him on the flight. Apparently he declined a selfie ;)

Currently in China...we bought 2x "CCC"Powerbanks ahead of our domestic flight next week. We did not bring our old powerbanks.

Interesting....I have to keep changing the country Im routing the VPN through....first Australia, then Singapore, then Japan and now Philipines...it seems the Firewall works out what you are doing and starts blocking... :(

Yes it does....I bought 20 GB for a 4.5 week trip which is not enough! By using the VPN workaound, I can use hotel / local Wifi networks to save my Sim data. FB app does not work at all, only the desktop version which took me 5 days to figure out :(

It is such an important train connecting the terminals too! Used it last Saturday and it was so much better and faster than the bus!

Thanks but I have a dual physical SIM phone. I seem to have resolved the issue for now by using a VPN routed via Japan.

I have been using A map in China :)

Speak to Qf...they are quite understanding. They probably will require a medical letter though confirming your wife's illness. I wish her and you all the best in the cancer treatment.

By using a VPN routed to Japan (not Australia ) and using the desktop version of FB, not the FB app, I have managed to climb over the Great Firewall of China ;)

Am currently in Deyang, China having arrived in Chengdu 5 days ago. Using Privado VPN set to Singapore (not Australia), I can now access most sites eg Google, gmail, Whatsapp, SMH, google maps etc. However, I haven't been abe to post to Facebook even with a foreign registered SIM card. Any...

Honesty?

When was the last time Va weighed your carryon? Ùnofficial Va policy atm is NOT to weigh carry on ;)

I suggest contacting Qf and explaining that you could not travel for medical reasons and they may be nice. ;)
