Is using a VPN still a viable method?

I have used numerous VPN's in the past.  Now, however, just about everyone is no longer functional.  Should  give up, or are there still VPN's out there that I can use? Does anyone know of any decent VPN's that still work?

I'm currently using two different VPNs on my iPhone. They are not available on Chinese Apple Store.
From time to time I have to make small adjustments, and it gets slow mostly in the evening.
I'm based in Shanghai and I guess the same applies for the rest of China!

I've been using the same VPN for about four years - not had any major problems.

Look into shadowsocks instead. Far better than “normal” VPN

I use Express VPN, notable for use in China.

I hope this helps.

I also recommend Express VPN, very reliable for both phone internet and computer.
