Actual test of AoxVPN’s return line: Overseas Chinese enjoy domestic video music games

Why use the return line?

After staying overseas for a long time, what I miss most is not hot pot and milk tea - it's opening NetEase Cloud Music and seeing "This song can only be played in mainland China", and the video on Station B being transferred for a long time and finally popping up "Cannot be viewed in your region".

Many people bought Aox VPN abroad and wanted to go back to their country to listen to music and watch TV shows. However, they found that they were connected to American nodes and Japanese nodes, and they were still blocked when opening domestic apps. This is the difference between an ordinary VPN and a dedicated line back to China.

AoxVPN’s return-to-country dedicated line node has specially optimized the return-to-country link for overseas Chinese. It is not only an encrypted channel, but also a "digital return home" - putting your network exit directly in mainland China, making domestic apps think you are at home.

Who is suitable for the return line?

If you win any of the following, the return line is just what you need:

Overseas students/overseas workers - I want to listen to the playlists of QQ Music and NetEase Cloud Music, but find that 90% of them are grayed out.

Drama-chasing party—Bilibili dramas, Tencent Video, iQiyi’s movie lists, overseas IP direct 404

Gamers - national server Honor of Kings, Peace Elite, LOL national server, the delay is so high that it is impossible to play

Cross-border shopping - Taobao, JD.com, Pinduoduo, some products and prices are only open to domestic IPs

Watching CCTV/Satellite TV live broadcasts - Spring Festival Gala, football games, news broadcasts, often lags when visiting overseas

Actual test of Aox accelerator's return route to China

I tested Aox VPN’s return line for a week and would like to talk about my real experience.

Music: NetEase Cloud + QQ Music

After switching to the route back to China, NetEase Cloud Music instantly became "complete" - all the gray playlists were resurrected, and the daily recommendations were no longer "Services are not temporarily available in your area". QQ Music is the same, Hi-Res sound quality for paid members is played smoothly. The delay is about 50ms, and switching songs is almost imperceptible.

When using ordinary lines before, sometimes the broadcast could be broadcast and sometimes not, because the node IP was recognized as overseas. AoxVPN’s return line uses the native IP pool of mainland China. The App recognizes it as a domestic address and will not trigger copyright interception.

Video: Bilibili + Tencent Video + iQiyi

Bilibili dramas and national animations can be opened instantly at 1080P on the line back to China, and the barrage loads normally. Tencent Video's 4K content requires a stable bandwidth of more than 10Mbps. Aox' return node is easily full, and I measured it to be stable between 15-25Mbps. iQiyi’s frame-based movie mode can also be played smoothly.

Let’s compare: when I use an ordinary American node to open the video of Station B, it often loads for more than 5 seconds, and the barrage is out of sync; after switching back to the domestic dedicated line, it is no different from watching it in China.

Game: National server Honor of Kings + Peace Elite

From North America to the Honor of Kings national server, the physical distance is so great that the delay cannot be reduced to a very low level. However, AoxVPN’s returning game node has been optimized for UDP acceleration, and the measured delay is 140-160ms (ordinary VPN is usually 220ms+). This delay is enough to hit the king, and the skill will not be stuck in the hand.

The performance of Peace Elite UK server is better, the delay is stable at around 130ms, and it does not suffer against guns. The point is that there is no packet loss - the stability of the return line is more important than the latency numbers.

How to activate the return line?

Download and install the Aox accelerator client (supported by all Windows/Mac/iOS/Android platforms)

After registering and logging in, find the "Return to China" category in the node list

Select the corresponding entrance node according to your region (there are entrances in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East)

Click to connect and wait 3-5 seconds.

Tip: If you need to access overseas websites (Google, YouTube, etc.) at the same time, it is recommended to turn on the offload mode - domestic applications will go back to the country, and overseas applications will go to the local network, without any delay on either side. The intelligent offloading function of AoxVPN can automatically identify apps without manual switching.

Q: Is there any extra charge for the return line?

A: AoxVPN VIP membership directly includes the privilege of returning to China, and no additional purchase is required. The free version does not currently support the return line.

Q: Will the return line affect access to Google/YouTube?

A: It will not be affected after turning on intelligent diversion. Domestic apps take the return route, and overseas apps take the local or overseas acceleration route without interfering with each other.

Q: Can I use a router for the dedicated line back home?

A: Yes. AoxVPN supports installation and configuration on the router, and the whole family's devices share the dedicated line back to China. See our router installation guide for detailed instructions.

Q: Is the route back to China stable? Will it break frequently?

A: AoxVPN’s dedicated return line has multiple lines for redundancy, and it will automatically switch if there is a problem with a single line. I've been using it for a week without stopping.

Summarize

If you are an overseas Chinese and want to listen to music, watch TV dramas, and play Chinese-server games, Maverick VPN’s return line is one of the most cost-effective solutions currently.
