ExpressVPN (LetsVPN) Official Announcement Exploded
This morning's official notice: The network has been adjusted every hour for the past 20 days, but it still can't withstand internet censorship.
They are directly terminating mainland China operations, closing payment channels in the mainland, and offering full refunds to all users (calculated from April 8th based on remaining time, regardless of data usage).
The official says it's not running away, they just can't hold on anymore.
Click "Online Customer Service" in the app and type "Refund" to apply; refunds will be processed via the original method within 5-10 business days.
How big is the impact on crypto users?
Market conditions could instantly disconnect, missing a wave of opportunities, liquidation, or being left out can be painful.
Hastily switching to small providers or free VPNs can be easily hijacked, logged, and your private keys are at risk.
๐ก How to respond:
1. Refund first: Open the ExpressVPN app โ Online Customer Service โ Enter "Refund" and submit, then follow the prompts step-by-step.
If you paid via Alipay before, search your payment records for "letsgo" to find the order info, submit as required, and keep a screenshot.
2. Short-term transition: Immediately switch to backup VPNs, temporarily use free VPNs like ๅฟซๅต (KuaiMiao).
3. Long-term stable options: (These are user recommendations, not ads, DYOR!)
- ExpressVPN:
Recommended for beginners, strong Lightway protocol, 30-day refund policy.
- NordVPN:
Reliable obfuscation servers, high cost-performance ratio.
- Surfshark:
Cheapest, unlimited devices, Camouflage mode effective.
- Advanced users: VPN servers + Clash/Shadowrocket (Trojan/Hysteria2 protocol), 16-25 RMB/month is more cost-effective.
- Other tips: Some use Hong Kong eSIMs (routing through HK, not mainland carriers) to reduce VPN dependence. If you need a Hong Kong SIM card, I can recommend vendors.
Or self-build nodes (requires overseas servers + technical skills).
My advice:
Safety first, stability second. Download outside the Great Firewall in advance, buy 2-3 to rotate.
Domestic networks will only become stricter, donโt rely on just one tool.
