Telecom vs Unicom vs Mobile
Your ISP choice significantly impacts VPN performance. Here's what we've measured.
China Telecom
163 BackboneBest overall for international. CN2 premium route available in some cities.
China Unicom
169 BackboneStrong international peering. Often fastest for downloads.
China Mobile
CMNetWeakest international routing. Heaviest throttling during sensitive periods.
Speed by VPN protocol
| Protocol | Encryption Overhead | Effective Throughput | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLESS+Reality+Vision | ~3% | 95-97% | Minimal overhead. Near-native speeds. |
| Hysteria2 (QUIC) | ~8% | 90-92% | Fast but UDP is throttled in China. |
| Trojan | ~5% | 93-95% | Good speed but detectable via probing. |
| Shadowsocks AEAD | ~7% | 91-93% | Reasonable speed, declining reliability. |
| WireGuard | ~4% | 94-96% | Fast protocol but instantly blocked. |
| OpenVPN | ~15-20% | 80-85% | Heavy encryption overhead, very slow. |
