[tor-dev] GreatFire Circumvention Central: tests of speed and stability of circumvention tools in China
https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2016/jul/greatfireorg-now-testing-vpn-speed-and-stability-china
https://cc.greatfire.org/en
"Our newest website, Circumvention Central (CC), aims to provide
real-time information and data about circumvention solutions
that work in China. Since 2011, we have been collecting data
about blocked websites in China and now we will add data about
the effectiveness of VPNs and other circumvention tools."
They list various VPNs and other tools. Tor is on the list. (This page
has JavaScript charts that aren't working for me in Tor Browser.)

At the moment, these are the figures I see:
Speed (kbps) Stability
1. HideMyAss 504 (+39%) 98% (-1%)
2. VyprVPN 445 (−33%) 98% (+11%)
3. FreeBrowser 440 (+13%) 88% (+1%)
4. XX-Net 356 (New) 97%
5. Astrill 294 (−32%) 97% (+1%)
6. Lantern 262 (+15%) 95% (+3%)
7. VPNSecure 259 (New) 87%
8. Psiphon 218 (+6%) 89% (+2%)
9. Ultrasurf 206 (+460%) 86% (−4%)
10. Freegate 188 (−29%) 91% (+1%)
11. PureVPN 151 (−25%) 94% (+1%)
12. Tor 112 (+237%) 96% (+1%)
The test details have interesting values under the "Settings" header:
https://cc.greatfire.org/en/provider/Tor#http-tests
"0", "socks5", "是", "lantern-proxy", "lantern-proxy,no bridge",
"lantern-proxy,meek-arzue", "proxy,no bridge", "lantern-proxy,obfs4",
"obfs4", "否", "meek-arzue", "obfs4,sock5 proxy".
There's a tool on the list I didn't know, XX-Net. Its GitHub page says
"It uses google app engine (GAE) as a proxy server through the
firewall" and "A Reborn GoAgent."
