I am a videographer traveling through China at the moment, and I have made some local friends.
They have asked to follow me on social media to see what I produce, however, I am only posting to YouTube and Instagram. Both of which are blocked here in China, along with most VPN apps.
After explaining to them, what a VPN was, I was able to install Mullvad on my Chinese friends Android phone by downloading the APK on my phone, putting it onto a USB flash drive and inserting it into his phone and installing it. The Mullvad website was blocked on his phone as well but I was able to sign him up to an account using my phone.
I have now made a new local friend who also wants to follow me on YouTube/Instagram but because they have an iPhone, I am unable to side load the Mullvad app like on android.
If I search for the app in the App Store, nothing comes up. And if I find the app on apps.apple.com it just says “app not available in your region”
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get around this?
Please help me help this local get past the Great Firewall of China
