Throughwire does not record traffic logs or sell usage data. With Throughwire on your router, company devices can run Tailscale, split-tunnel WireGuard, SSH, or Cloudflare Tunnel behind it. We carry that encrypted traffic without access to its private contents. Device-level VPN compatibility varies by operating system.

“Installed it the week before flying to Shenzhen and basically forgot it was there. Meet, Slack, all of it just stayed up. Astrill used to fall over every afternoon around 3 or 4. Four trips in now and it hasn’t dropped once.”
Emily Zhang
Product Manager · Berlin
“Showed up in Guangzhou for Canton Fair completely unprepared. Hotel wifi wouldn’t even open Google. Someone exhibiting next to me pointed me to this and it was running in under ten minutes. Genuinely saved the trip.”

First time in China
“Coming up on three months in Chengdu. Went through Express, Astrill, Nord, all useless once the evening hits. This one just holds at full speed. I can actually use Claude for work instead of fighting my laptop all day.”
Jonas
Software engineer · Chengdu
“Our Shenzhen team, about eight engineers, has to be on Zoom and Slack with Singapore first thing every day. It used to be frozen screens and dropped calls constantly. Moved everyone to Throughwire back in January and the support tickets just stopped.”
Marcus Tan
Engineering Lead · Singapore
“I’m in Beijing roughly every quarter for client work, and Workspace and Slack cannot cut out mid-presentation. Nothing else held up the way this does. The whole team’s on it now.”
Greg Sullivan
Consultant · Austin
“Three years in Shanghai and I’ve tried basically all of it. Express, Astrill, Shadowsocks, sketchy Telegram groups. Every one of them dies around 8 when the whole country logs on. This is the first thing that actually streams Netflix in the evening. No idea why it works, I just stopped questioning it.”

Common questions.
Everything you need to know about how Throughwire works.
How fast is the setup?
Around 60 seconds. Download the app, sign in, tap connect. There’s no manual configuration, no certificates to import, no protocols to choose. It works on the first try.
Where in China does it work?
Every major city. Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Hangzhou, and across most of mainland. If you’re somewhere unusual, talk to us before you sign up. We’ll tell you honestly whether it works there.
Can I install it on a router?
Yes. Router setup is currently available in beta to active subscribers with compatible GL.iNet or OpenWrt hardware, so every device behind the router can be covered without a per-device app. Team and Enterprise add the managed support businesses usually need.
Why is it more expensive than other VPNs?
Encryption is the easy part. The hard part is the route out of China. Private international links with the speed and reliability we use are expensive, and that is exactly why most VPNs avoid them. They share cheap, congested public routes instead, which is why they slow down. We pay for the proper path so the speed actually holds.
Why do most VPNs in China slow down?
Cheap VPNs share a handful of congested international links between thousands of users. Peak hours destroy them. We don’t do that. You get dedicated bandwidth on a private route, which is why speeds stay between 100 and 500 Mbps even when everyone else is online.
What about privacy and security?
We don’t record browsing history, destinations, DNS queries, traffic contents, or source IP addresses tied to account activity. We keep limited operational data such as bandwidth totals, authentication events, and short-lived carrier and throughput telemetry so we can enforce quotas, secure accounts, and diagnose connection quality. The exact categories and retention periods are in our Privacy Policy.
How does it actually work?
Your traffic leaves your device encrypted, takes a private route out of mainland China, and exits the public internet somewhere outside the wall. The route is the kind of infrastructure global businesses use to move sensitive data, not a shared public tunnel. We maintain and upgrade the encryption layer continuously. You don’t configure any of this. Open the app, tap connect, you’re online.
