During the current VPS deal drought, a new provider has entered the optimized direct-routing market, and it even uses a domestic CPU. I bought it at launch to investigate. xhj003

2. Evening Peak Return-to-China Speed Tests

Click to expand
Test Method: single-thread TCP protocol
Speed Test URL: https://speed.cloudflare.com
Latency Check URL: http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html

All three networks can connect directly, but China Telecom and China Unicom seem to experience cutouts under high bandwidth usage. Latency is not first-tier. By comparison, ISIF JP COP with similar parameters and peak bandwidth has no such issue; China Mobile does not appear to cut out.

3. Return Routes & Network Quality

4. Outbound Routes & TCP Ping

Click to expand

Three-Network Outbound Routes

Test Site: itdog.cn
Test Time: 2026-02-18 11:00

Telecom outbound uses CN2. Because of the Shanghai<->Japan CN2 fault, it detours through Hong Kong, causing higher latency. Unicom outbound uses 4837. Mobile outbound uses CMI->Lumen, with no optimization, so evening-peak latency is high.

Three-Network TCP Ping

Test Site: itdog.cn
Test Time: 2026-02-18 20:00

Unicom has the lowest latency, while Telecom and Mobile are higher. It is relatively stable, with more jitter on Mobile.

Web Latency

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danger-dream/network-latency-tester/main/latency.sh)

v6 latency is high; manually changing outbound priority to v4 is recommended.

6. IP Quality & Streaming Unlock

International streaming unlock has no real issues, but local unlock is limited.

7. Performance Tests

Click to expand
bash <(curl -sL https://Check.Place) -H

CPU single-core performance is average, I/O is poor, and the disk is a bit small.

8. Summary

There seem to be some cutout issues during the evening peak, for unknown reasons. Machine performance is middling. Netlab IPs still have good international streaming unlock. Considering the price of 16.88 EUR/year and 1TB outbound traffic (500GB before doubling), the product is fairly competitive on value. I hope the provider can find more diverse upstreams for future direct-routing products, or focus on polishing streaming unlock, performance, and international optimization.

My personal suggestion is that the provider could consider replacing the WHMCS-like Zhijianmofang billing system or changing the theme, which would make the whole site look more polished. xhj002
