My IP address is banned by GFW . What should I do now ?

If you have new vps within our 3 days refund period and you find that you received a blocked IP when your vps was setup , we will give you a new working tested IP for free  . Note that this will not be treated for refund cases. Just open a support ticket  , click here

If you have vpses older, we request you to wait 2/3 weeks before ip change or new ip get blocked too .You need to change your VPs/proxy software but note that GFW can detect most software these days. If possible also contact your isp to get the ip removed from the gfw firewall .

If we change IP immediately , it will get blocked again and we will run out of ips. Mind you this is not our network issue , it is a block by the Chinese government firewall.

Cost of ip change in case of old vpses is 3 USD.

Usually, IPs are banned during any important events in china . To prevent your IPs from getting blocked, you can shut down the vps before the start of the event and boot it up only after the event passed, you can also contact your friends in forums,blogs and instant messages apps to be updated of such upcoming events .

You can test if your IPs or IP port is banned at the websites below
