The circumvention tool “KuaiLian” (LetsVPN) issues announcement formally declaring the cessation of its business in mainland China

（Rights Defense Network Information Center report）On April 28, 2026，this outlet learned：Today，the circumvention tool KuaiLian issued an announcement on suspending its business in mainland China，confirming the recent sustained and intense internet-blocking campaign targeting circumvention software in mainland China。Recently，the difficulty of “circumventing the firewall” in mainland China has increased significantly，with widespread disconnections occurring frequently。

​“KuaiLian”（LetsVPN）stated in its announcement，that，affected by the network blockade，its technical team had been attempting and making adjustments nearly every hour over the past 20 days，but ultimately confirmed that it could not effectively resolve the connection problems，and was forced to decide to terminate its business operations serving mainland China。

​It is worth noting that，in its announcement KuaiLian regretfully mentioned that it deeply regretted no longer being able to assist Chinese customers in “using AI services” and “helping cross-border e-commerce grow”。This clearly shows that the increasingly fortified Great Firewall（GFW）had long since not only been suppressing the free flow of information，but was also substantially severing the necessary connection between ordinary Chinese people，technology professionals and the global digital economy and cutting-edge technology。At present，KuaiLian has closed all mainland payment channels，and has promised to process refunds for users with April 8 as the starting date。

The Chinese Communist authorities’ strict control over circumvention of the firewall in the mainland will inevitably further block information exchanges between mainland China and the outside world。
