SwitchVPN in China
SwitchVPN is a lesser known VPN, but still worth checking out. I have not tried this VPN so cannot vouch for it's reliability or speed. But there are a few things I can see from checking out their site.
1. Not a lot of choice. +1 -1
This is good, and bad. For one, it makes things simple. Lots of sites like to have EVERYTHING available which is a lot to take in for new users. Considering users in China can't use PPTP or L2TP this makes things much easier. You can ignore pretty much all of their plans but the SSL plan which is 12 dollars a month.
2. Live Support +1
3. Unlimited Bandwidth +1
3. Downloading Torrents OK +1 (some sites don't allow this)
4. Windows/Mac/Linux +1
5. 48 hour Money Back Guarantee -1
There are plenty of services out there that offer 7 day money back guarantees.
6. Site Design +1
I used to Knock their site for bad design and presentation. They've recently improved it, and it looks much better – more like a service I can trust.
7. Price +0
Not the cheapest, Not the most expensive.
8. Not Affected by March 2011 VPN crisis in china +2
9. Still Not Blocked in China +2
10, Site connection speed +1
11. Servers in Multiple Locations +1 (US, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Malaysia)
12. Free Server Switching +1
All in all, it looks like a decent VPN service. One thing that really impresses me about SwitchVPN in China is that I've never had issues connecting to their site. Even some of my favorite VPN sites like StrongVPN and 12VPN have from time to time been inaccessible or a couple days. If you find that some of the links on my site get timed out, SwitchVPN is a cool service to check out.
