How ZoltVPN compares in censored countries
On a filtered network the question is not only speed or price. It is whether your VPN still connects next week. Here is how the main kinds of VPN compare.
Traditional VPN protocols
WireGuard, OpenVPN and IPsec are fast and well tested, but they are easy to recognise. Censors in China, Russia and Iran identify and block them, often within minutes, so VPNs built only on them work well on open networks and poorly on filtered ones.
Free VPN apps
Free VPNs have to pay for their servers somehow, usually through ads or data, and they rarely have the capacity or the engineering to keep up with active blocking. Many stop working without warning.
Single-method proxy apps
Many apps popular in filtered countries use one connection method at a time. They work until that method is blocked, and then you change servers or configuration by hand.
ZoltVPN
- CyberPort AI chooses between 10 connection models based on your location, provider and connection performance, and switches automatically when one is blocked.
- 500,000+ active users. Users in China found it 30–40% faster than the leading VPN services in their own side-by-side tests.
- 100+ servers in 10 countries on Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, with speeds above 2 Gbps in our own tests.
- Dedicated static IPs, residential or cloud, and site-to-site VPN for businesses.
- Apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Android TV and Windows, in six languages.
- Country rules keep local websites outside the VPN on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
- Ad blocking on every server.
- 7-day free trial without a card; pay by card, cryptocurrency or Telegram Stars.
