Hello everyone, I am the assistant of Australian Encyclopedia. Recently, some friends asked me aboutHow to access the domestic network in AustraliaNow I will summarize the related issues, hoping to help those who want to know more.

Living in Australia, accessing domestic websites is a necessity for many Chinese people - whether they are following the latest domestic dramas, using bank apps to handle business, checking Taobao logistics information, or watching exclusive content on Bilibili, they may encounter the prompt "This content is not available in your area". This article will systematically analyze the six most effective solutions in 2024, with technical principles and legal risk warnings.

1. Why break through network restrictions?

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics data in 2023, the Chinese population in Australia has exceeded 1.4 million, of which 87% have the need to visit domestic websites every week. The main usage scenarios include:

• Financial operations: Use Alipay/WeChat Pay to pay domestic bills
• Entertainment needs: Watch exclusive content on iQiyi/Tencent Video
• Social needs: Use Douban/Xiaohongshu to participate in topic discussions
• Business needs: Log in to the enterprise OA system to handle transactions

2. Three major technical principles of network restriction

1. Geofencing：The website identifies the user's location through the IP address database
2. GFW filtering mechanism: China's firewall's special control over overseas IP addresses
3. Territorial restrictions：Content distribution strategy of video platform based on copyright agreement

3. In-depth evaluation of the six solutions

1. Commercial VPN (Virtual Private Network)

Recommendation index: ★★★★☆
Routes network traffic to domestic servers through encrypted tunnels. International brands such as ExpressVPN and NordVPN are recommended. The actual download speed can reach 20-50Mbps, but please note:

• Choose a client that supports the WireGuard protocol
• Avoid using Chinese VPN providers
• Monthly fee is about 10-15 Australian dollars

2. Game Accelerator

Recommendation index: ★★★☆☆
For example, UU Accelerator and Xunyou International Edition were originally designed for games but can also unblock video websites. The advantages are:

• The dedicated network delay is less than 100ms
• Hourly billing is more flexible
• Supports multiple platforms including PS5/Xbox

3. SmartDNS Technology

Recommendation index: ★★☆☆☆
By modifying DNS resolution, it can trick website locations. It is suitable for watching videos but not suitable for services that require account login. Unlocator, SmartDNS Proxy, etc. are recommended.

4. Remote Desktop Solution

Recommendation index: ★★★☆☆
Keep a computer in China with remote control turned on and control it through TeamViewer or Sunflower. It is suitable for handling sensitive business but requires domestic equipment to remain turned on.

IV. Legal risks and precautions

1. Australian law allows personal use of VPNs, but prohibits their use for illegal activities
2. Avoid conducting online banking transactions while using a VPN (may trigger risk control)
3. iOS devices are recommended to use overseas Apple ID to download apps
4. Beware of "permanently free" phishing software

5. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Will the use of VPN be investigated by domestic police?

Normal browsing will not, but if you spread illegal information, it may be traced. It is recommended to choose a VPN service provider that does not record logs.

Q2: How can a mobile phone access domestic apps?

Android devices can install APK files, and iOS users need to switch to a Chinese account to download. Some applications (such as Didi Chuxing) require GPS camouflage.

Q3: How to optimize the slow network speed?

Try switching protocols (IKEv2 is faster than OpenVPN), using the 5GHz WiFi band, or choosing a service provider that supports BGP lines.
