Finally, a VPN That
Actually Works in China.
Built by an American expat who spent 15 years dealing with the same frustration you're feeling right now.
Every Expat in China
Knows This Pain
If you've lived in China for more than a month, you've experienced every single one of these.
Server Roulette
Trying 10 Astrill servers hoping one still works. Refreshing. Switching protocols. Refreshing again.
The Buffering Loop
YouTube at 480p still buffering. Netflix stuck on the loading screen. Every. Single. Evening.
ISP Lottery
Works fine on China Telecom. Completely dead on China Mobile. Nobody knows why.
Account Ban Terror
One VPN leak exposes your China IP. Anthropic or OpenAI detects it. Account permanently suspended.
Annual Crackdown
Every NPC session, every National Day, every "sensitive period" -- your VPN stops working for weeks.
Paying for Nothing
$30/month for a premium VPN that fails exactly when you need it most. Every single time.
One Click.
Always Connected.
Undetectable
VLESS+Reality mimics real HTTPS traffic. The GFW cannot distinguish KookVPN from a normal visit to microsoft.com.
Private Server
Your own dedicated connection -- not shared with 10,000 others. No IP blocklist contamination.
One Click
No server switching, no protocol fiddling. Open the app, click connect, get on with your life.
Not another VPN.
The last VPN you'll need in China.
Undetectable Protocol
VLESS+Reality mimics legitimate HTTPS traffic to microsoft.com. The GFW literally cannot tell the difference. 98% success rate in independent tests.
TUN Mode (Full Capture)
Captures ALL OS-level traffic through a virtual network adapter. Not just your browser -- every application, every API call, every DNS query.
BBR Speed Optimization
Google's BBR congestion control algorithm maximizes throughput over long-distance connections. Feel the speed difference on day one.
Zero Logs. Period.
We don't log your traffic, DNS queries, connection timestamps, or IP addresses. Nothing. Zero. Your privacy is not a feature -- it's a guarantee.
Private Dedicated Server
Your connection isn't shared with thousands of strangers on a VPN farm. Private infrastructure means your IP never gets cross-contaminated.
One-Click Connect
Custom KookVPN desktop client for Windows. Click connect. That's it. No server hunting, no protocol switching, no configuration PhD required.
Your API access is
one VPN leak away
from a permanent ban.
Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google actively detect and permanently ban accounts connecting from China. Commercial VPNs use shared IP pools already flagged by AI companies. One disconnect = your real IP is exposed. One detection = account gone.
Commercial VPNs leak your real IP. One detection = permanent account ban from Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini.
$ claude code "build me a website"
Connected via KookVPN (Singapore SGP1)
IP: 128.199.xxx.xxx (DigitalOcean)
Protocol: VLESS+Reality+Vision
Status: Undetectable
$ codex --provider openai
API connected. No geo-restriction detected.
$ gemini generate "deploy script"
Connected. Generating response...
Session active. 0 leaks. 0 drops.
Why VLESS+Reality
Defeats the GFW
The Great Firewall uses deep packet inspection to identify VPN protocols. Most VPNs use protocols with known signatures. KookVPN uses the only protocol cryptographically indistinguishable from normal HTTPS.
| Protocol | GFW Detectability | Speed | China Success Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLESS+Reality+Vision | Undetectable | Excellent | ~98% |
| Hysteria2 (QUIC) | Low | Very Good | ~81% |
| Trojan | Low-Medium | Good | ~75% |
| Shadowsocks (AEAD) | Medium | Good | ~60% |
| WireGuard | High | Excellent | <20% |
| OpenVPN | Very High | Moderate | <10% |
Don't take our word for it.
I was spending more time troubleshooting Astrill than actually coding. KookVPN just works. I haven't thought about my VPN in months, and that's exactly the point.
Running Claude Code and Codex CLI from Shanghai without a single disconnect in 3 months. My Anthropic account is safe. Worth every penny.
I tried ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and two Chinese VPNs before someone in the expat WeChat group told me about KookVPN. Night and day difference. Zoom calls finally don't drop.
Every plan. Every feature.
No feature gating. The only difference is how much you save.
