Yeah, you’ll need a VPN for sure. I used Private Internet Access (PIA) and it worked fine. Just connect to a server outside China, and you should be able to register without too much trouble.
One tip: clear your browser cache before starting. It helps avoid some of the timeouts. After setup, it works great as long as your VPN is active.

Hey, I just went through this last month! You’ll need a VPN—I used ExpressVPN, and it worked perfectly. Just make sure it’s connected before you start the registration process.
Also, try using a non-Chinese phone number for verification. It makes things a lot easier. After setup, it works fine as long as your VPN is on.
