Fly is a VPN and proxy service recommendation guide that evaluates and ranks airport nodes for circumvention purposes.
The guide addresses the problem of finding reliable, fast proxy services by testing and recommending specific airport providers within mainland China. It evaluates services based on protocol support including Shadowsocks, V2Ray, and Trojan, assessing them for stability during peak hours, streaming service unlock capability, and value for money. The approach involves hands-on testing of recommended services and organizing them by use case: budget-conscious users seeking entertainment streaming, professionals requiring stable connections for business, and those prioritizing low-cost options with flexible data expiration.
Adoption depends on geographic location and use case. The guide suits users in mainland China seeking alternatives to standard internet access, particularly those wanting to stream international content, access AI tools, or maintain backup connections. It recommends pairing multiple services for redundancy rather than relying on a single provider. The guide does not compare itself to other recommendation resources but instead positions specific services against each other based on line quality, peak-hour stability, unlock capabilities, and pricing.
The project maintains monthly updates to its rankings and pricing information, reflecting ongoing testing of service performance. The repository contains primarily HTML content structured as a public-facing recommendation guide rather than a software tool, with detailed pricing tables and feature comparisons that are regularly refreshed to reflect current service offerings.
