Maoxiong IPLC VPN Review: High-End Proxy for Expats in Germany

Maoxiong (CatBear) offers IPLC/IEPL VPN plans starting at 11 RMB/month, with the 25 RMB/200GB plan being a great value for daily use. YouTube speed test screenshots show stable performance and low latency — Hong Kong and Taiwan IPLC nodes deliver around 20ms ping. After six months of use, it's reliable and hassle-free.

1. Compared to other IPLC/IEPL providers like Fries (Shutiao), Maoxiong offers similar value at a much lower price.
2. [2024/1/21] All plans switched to dedicated lines. Prices adjusted accordingly. Nodes now mostly 1x rate, with a few high-rate and low-rate nodes.
3. [2025/6/6] Maoxiong added an Emby media server (including Juanmaoshu's Emby).
4. No refunds for any reason — buy carefully to avoid disputes.
5. Ping shown in tests is Google ping via v2ray, which is naturally higher than SSR. The dedicated line is genuine.
6. The owner lives abroad, so you don't have to worry about shutdowns or data handovers.
7. IPLC/IEPL: point-to-point private network, bypassing the GFW (China firewall). No public internet, no censorship (but obey local laws), no ISP QoS. Stable even during peak hours.
8. Maoxiong is a large VPN service with tens of thousands of users.
9. All plans support IPLC/IEPL; VIP2 and VIP3 also include CN2 nodes.
10. VIP2 and VIP3 have live chat support, faster than ticket system.
11. Overselling is less severe than Fries; speeds are better in some regions.
12. Maoxiong uses v2ray; Fries uses SSR. Since v2ray isn't ideal for gaming, Maoxiong offers 6 SSR gaming lines (but gaming lines are never as good as dedicated game accelerators).
13. Auto-switching entry nodes for China Telecom/Unicom/Mobile. For best latency, choose the entry matching your ISP (e.g., Hong Kong node with lowest ping).
14. Telecom entry: IPLC HK mostly via Guangzhou Telecom, plus Sichuan Mobile. CN2 via Shanghai Unicom and HK CN2 direct. VIP3 has Shanghai-Japan node via Shanghai Mobile/Telecom/Unicom.
15. Unicom entry: IPLC HK mostly via Guangzhou Unicom, plus Shanghai Unicom/Mobile. CN2 via Shanghai Unicom and HK CN2 direct. VIP3 Shanghai-Japan via Shanghai Mobile/Telecom/Unicom.
16. Mobile entry: IPLC HK mostly via Guangzhou/Shenzhen Mobile, plus Guangzhou/Foshan Mobile. CN2 via Shanghai Unicom and HK CN2 direct. VIP3 Shanghai-Japan via Shanghai Mobile/Telecom/Unicom.
17. Mobile's Shenzhen 120 segment is top-tier; Unicom's 103 is excellent (though most use 115); Telecom's 123 is also top-tier. But vmess ping is still higher than SSR — somewhat gimmicky.
18. VIP2 and VIP3 support Abema TV nodes; VIP3 includes Shanghai-Japan dedicated line.
19. Daily check-in gives 1GB+ traffic — try it.
20. VIP2 and VIP3 used to include shared Netflix accounts, but due to price hikes and strict sharing limits, they've been replaced with external Emby servers. Now there are two Emby servers plus an adult one.
21. Maoxiong Emby details: https://maoxiong.crisp.help/zh/article/embypornemby-1bemg60/
22. Shared P站 (Pornhub) account included.
23. Maoxiong launched Maoxiong Emby, a private media library similar to Plex.
24. Maoxiong also launched Pornemby (VIP3 only) — an adult version of Maoxiong Emby.
25. Dedicated clients for Windows, Android, and Linux.
26. Recommend monthly payment — yearly can be risky. Don't use QQ email to register.
