I don't particularly care about the cost or the hoops I have to jump through, I primarily want the best and most effective VPN's.

I'm also a heavy gamer, so the ones that are most excellent and allow for the least minimal delay when playing online multiplayer/live-service games, would be what I'm looking for.

And while this last one is optional, I would prefer if the recommend VPN's are also usable in the U.S., so I could set them up before I move to Chengdu.

I'm aware I could likely change VPN's, but that could be a headache or a hassle, so I'd rather stick with one. Unless I would have to compromise on quality/ VPN effectiveness.

Also, the more cost efficient for the value, the better. But I primarily care about quality rather than cost effectiveness.

This is perfect, thank you!

I was leaning towards SurfShark earlier, but I'm looking at these now.

Glad to help!

Also, from what I understand, those are the VPNs that are known to work inside the great firewall. There's probably others, but those are the most recommended.

The rule of thumb is to usually avoid the most popular ones that don't have China-specific features (especially ones you see on youtube) as their protocols are generally not hardy enough.

Anyway, good luck!

If I have follow-up questions, do you mind if I keep in touch?

Absolutely, feel free to send a message and I'll reply to the best of my ability.
