Users inside mainland China: China direct-routing tool

Chinese sites routed the long way round once the VPN is up? Download this small tool and run it: Chinese IP ranges go direct, everything else uses the VPN. Works for both Cisco and OpenVPN. (Your LAN already goes direct — the tool no longer handles it.)

!! Outside China? Ignore this - it makes Chinese sites bypass the VPN, which is the opposite of what you want.

iOS: the app isn't in every App Store region

OpenVPN Connect isn't listed in the China App Store. It is available — and free — in the US, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Singapore. Pick either route below.

Option 1: create a new free Apple Account (recommended — leaves your current one untouched)

  1. In the App Store, tap Get on any free app, then choose "Create New Apple Account"
  2. Pick US, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan or Singapore, and enter an address in that region's format
  3. Set payment method to "None" — free apps need no payment details at all

Option 2: change the region of your existing Apple Account

  1. First spend your balance down to zero, cancel every subscription, leave Family Sharing, and let pre-orders and rentals finish
  2. Then go to account.apple.com → Personal Information → Country/Region and follow the prompts account.apple.com

⚠️ A region change may require a valid payment method for the new region and affects apps and subscriptions you already own. If you'd rather not touch your current account, use Option 1.
