Will my eSIMAdventures data plan support VPNs or accessing global apps while exploring Shanghai?

Updated May 30, 2026

Your eSIMAdventures data plan provides the essential internet backbone for your device in Shanghai. However, accessing certain international apps or using VPNs is subject to local internet regulations in China. While your eSIM ensures you have reliable mobile data, you'll still need a trusted VPN service installed and configured on your device beforehand to bypass the 'Great Firewall' and access services like Google Maps or social media. We recommend researching and setting up your VPN well in advance to ensure uninterrupted access to your preferred digital tools.
