What VPNs are best to use for China?

You will need two things:
>Buy VPS (https://www.digitalocean.com/)
>Obtain Shadowsocks - its free open-source software made by chinese hackers to bypass Golden Shield Project aka Great Firewall of China (https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/wiki)

Steps:
1. Buy a server (vps) on digitalocean, they call it "Droplet". Costs $5 a month, has 1TB/month transfer limit - this should be enough to all your funny youtube cat videos.
2. Choose Debian or Ubuntu distro to be installed on your server.
3. login, password and IP connection information should be sent to your email address after you purchase.
4. Obtain Windows client to login to your server - putty.exe (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html)
5. Login to your server with putty
6. Write those commands to install shadowsocks server
>apt-get install python-pip
this dowdnloads python package manager
>pip install shadowsocks
this installs shadowsocks on your server
>sudo ssserver -p 443 -k your_password -m aes-256-cfb --user nobody -d start
this starts shadowsocks server on port 443 with login password "your_password"
If something not clear, see tutorial: https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-windows
You are done on the server side, you can close your putty connection, you wont need it at this point.

Now on your PC:
1. Download shadowsocks.exe windows client: https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/wiki/Ports-and-Clients#windows
2. Double click it, on the task bar there should show up shadowsocks icon.
3. Right click that shadowsocks icon, select Servers>Edit Servers...
4. Fill the fields Server addr, Server port, Password, Encryption.
4. Click Ok.
5. Right-click again on shadowsocks taskbar icon and select "Enable System Proxy"
Congratulations, now all your internet traffic is being redirected by vps server somewhere in Indonesia and Chinese firewall cannot detect that it is youtube, facebook, gmaill data.
Good luck!

probably tor if it works there

That will be significantly slower than a VPN.

Just get express for 10 bucks

I have heard that TOR in fact does not work

but I'm not sure myself

I literally downloaded the first free app that came up from searching "vpn" in the app store and was able to use facebook and watch pornography for for my whole trip
