How to Use VPN on Mobile Device: Phone & Tablet

Hello, I want to install one VPN into my Samsung S7, but I don’t know how to get it and set up. Now I travel to another country but I want to surf websites operated in my country, and many websites and services are blocked here. I also want to upload some interesting picture into my blog to share with my friends and family. My friend suggests me sigh up a VPN service to freely visit the sites I expect. My friend also tells me that there are many different VPN services provided online, but I can’t figure out which one should be the best for my Samsung S7. Do you have any advices?

Why People use VPN on Mobile Device like Phone and tablet?

A VPN can help bypass firewall to get access to overseas websites. It creates a secure and encrypted way over local public network between your mobile device like phone and tablet or computer and any sites, service and apps you want to access. For example, if you travel abroad to China, you will find that you can’t open such websites as Google, FaceBook, You tube, Twitter and many other websites outside China. That’s because Chinese government creates and utilizes a stringent network barrier system called GFW (Great Fire Wall) to censor the Internet and preserve China’s “cyberspace sovereignty”. But if you have one VPN, you can evade censorship and bypass GFW and get full internet access to any websites outside China and your “local” sites. Besides, some people also want to access overseas websites that is blocked by their own country’s government internet censorship supervision, but with the help of VPN services, those people can easily browse websites operated by other many countries. Therefore, a VPN becomes more and more useful and essential tool for many people to get access to sites blocked by local network.

Best VPN for China

Hey, there! I am now outside of America and just arrive in China for a business trip. However, when I tried to log in FaceBook to contact my friends or my colleague, FaceBook was blocked. And also our company’s website is also not available for me. I really need to download some information from our websites in USA, but the site is totally blocked. It seems Google, You tube, Twitter, Gmail and many foreign websites are not allowed to access. Do you guys have any ideas to help me get access to any websites in US?

Why Websites like Google, You Tube and FaceBook etc are Blocked?

Why can you not access websites and other service outside China when you are in China? Chinese government operates its filtering system dubbed the Great Firewall (GFW) to censor the Internet. This sophisticated net censorship system both limits the places people can go online and what they can search for and discuss. Therefore, Google, Gmail, FaceBook, You Tube, Twitter and many foreign websites are blocked. And in last year, Chinese government updated nation’s firewall in order to preserve China’s “cyberspace sovereignty”. However, with updating of Great Firewall last year, foreign websites and service are severely hindered. So it’s more difficult for Chinese people and people coming to China to connect websites outside China. This is the reason why you can’t log in FaceBook, open You Tube and visit other websites of your country when you visit China.
