The Great Firewall of China

Want to use the VPN I use for a stable connection in China? I use Astrill VPN when I live stream on Instagram. Their customer service, speed, and connectivity is top notch. Plus, when you download from that link they share some of the cost with me, so I can keep creating the videos you love.
