Common Questions and Unknown Behaviors

Answer:

  1. Socks5/HTTP are plaintext proxies; content is transparent and not anonymous (e.g., ISPs, school gateways) and can be observed.
  2. XLM Cloud uses encrypted protocols; traffic is encrypted during transmission, preventing ISPs or school gateways from identifying the content or behavior.

Safe, anonymous, and prevents surveillance​

Answer:

  1. Do not forward overseas videos or opinions to domestic platforms; keep them to yourself and avoid doing anything foolish.
  2. When registering overseas accounts, use an overseas phone number (e.g., Hong Kong/US/UK, physical or virtual SIM), as using a mainland China number may trigger suspicious behavior alerts.
  3. Use overseas emails (e.g., well-known services like Google or Proton). Avoid using China mainland emails.
  4. Do not trust overseas platforms for potentially entrapment activities.
  5. Do not use proxies downloaded from China (e.g., apps from Apple Store CN region like 老王 快连).
  6. Avoid posting anti-China content overseas; maintain proper political awareness to protect yourself.

How to speed up file downloads​

Answer:

  1. If your download source is overseas, select a corresponding node. For example, if a server is in the US, choosing the US node improves speed significantly.

Differences between Relay, IPLC, and IEPL international circuits (IEPC = IPLC > Relay > Direct)​

Relay​

Users connect via domestic broadband providers (China Telecom, Unicom, Mobile) to a relay server within China, which forwards requests to overseas servers. Traffic on IPLC/IEPL international circuits through relay servers bypasses GFW inspection and QOS throttling, directly reaching overseas servers.

Advantages: Fast speed, low latency, secure, hard to block.
Disadvantages: Extra server cost, slightly higher price than direct connection.

IPLC (International Private Leased Circuit)​

IPLC is a dedicated cross-border communication line. IPLC usually connects through domestic relay servers to bypass GFW and international QOS limits, connecting directly to overseas servers.

Advantages: Low latency, high speed, suitable for video and gaming.
Disadvantages: Higher cost, limited bandwidth.

IEPL (International Ethernet Private Line)​

IEPL is a Layer 2 circuit, mainly for multinational enterprises, providing high-quality Ethernet private line service.

Advantages: Low latency, high reliability, SDH technology ensures performance similar to IPLC.
Disadvantages: Higher cost, smaller bandwidth.
