title: Using 12VPX with China
description: 
---

12VPX works both **in** and **around** China - just differently depending on your needs:

* **Inside China**? Yes, 12VPX gives you full access to the open internet. Connect to any of our global servers and browse freely.
* **Outside China**? Want to watch Chinese services like **Youku**? We support that too. Enable it on our site, and we’ll route only the needed traffic through our hidden China infrastructure.

**Note:** You can’t select a China server directly or browse the internet as if you're in China. This keeps our Chinese infrastructure stable and unblocked.

## Accessing 12VPX.com

Our regular website at 12vpx.com is blocked in China. Please check [the dashboard](/) for alternative links that work in China. These may change occasionally.

## Internet Connection

Moving to China? Before choosing an Internet provider, consider this:

* **Stick to major providers**: Use only China Telecom, China Mobile, or China Unicom. Smaller providers often have poor overseas bandwidth.
* **Disable "Overseas Accelerator" (海外加速) with VPN**: If you have China Telecom's service, turn it OFF via the 小翼管家 app when using VPN. Leaving it on will severely slow down VPN.
* **Vary providers from neighbors**: Due to shared bandwidth, choosing a provider different from most of your neighbors can improve speeds, especially during evenings and weekends.

## SIM cards

Chinese 4G/5G SIM cards offer free domestic roaming, but your data traffic always routes back to the purchase location before hitting the internet.

For **optimal performance**, buy your SIM where you live to ensure the most direct internet access. If you're traveling within China, **a Shanghai SIM card** is a great choice for its fast overseas connections.

Be **cautious buying SIM cards** online; some "deals" might be tied to remote areas with poor international connectivity.
