×VPN speeds depend on a number of things ranging from the type of VPN to local internet speed, the distance you are from the VPN (from your location to the server in Singapore), latency, etc.
What kind of speeds are you receiving without the VPN (i.e. using just your local connection)? What kind of VPN did you setup, and which guide did you follow to set up the VPN?
Hello, thank you for reply.
I’m in Hangzhou city in China. Using 50Mbps China mobile internet provider.
“What kind of VPN did you setup, and which guide did you follow to set up the VPN?” Is a bit hard question for me but I can show you the code , it’s here:

I made my mi router as VPN router. Yeah it works and I have access to YouTube, Facebook, Google etc, ( if someone doesn’t know, it’s blocked in China), but the speed is much slower then other VPN services. I would prefer to pay for my own one, so very interested how to make it fast.

Hi @ros093ba39aed7b59de337815a
I don’t read Russian, but it seems like that configuration if for PPTP, which is very outdated and insecure.
I would highly recommend that try something else like OpenVPN, which DigitalOcean has a tutorial for in Russian:

Thanks a lot for advise, I’ll study this information and will reply to which results it would lead in my current speed situation.
@ros093ba39aed7b59de337815a Just note that going thru a VPN will always make it slower and have higher latency than going directly (if that was even possible from within China). But you should be able to get much higher speeds than 30Kb/s.
I tried to set up an Open VPN server few weeks ago in Shanghai as well.
But the OpenVPN protocol isn’t strong enough to hide from the great firewall; few minutes after the connection the isps start to throttle down the speed, then after few day they drop the connection during the handshake…
Now I tried to set up a VPN using the auto install digital ocean project but the same problems are occurring.
Did anyone find a solution?
I have a VPS in Los Angeles that gets pretty good speeds as a VPN in China. Setup this one on Digitalocean Singapore thinking I would get blazing fast speeds, and it’s slow - very very very slow. Both are using Google’s Outline VPN docker instance.
Any more experiences with VPN down-/up-stream and latency from China to different droplets? I’m going to set up a droplet next month, just can’t decide which Location… I guess, Singapore is out
Just as an update: Just as expected. Works for a few minutes, then decreases Speed or completely dead. Appearently it is easily detected. :(
