UC Browser is widely used in Asia; however, its built-in encryption mechanisms are limited, and its HTTP update channel is vulnerable to spoofing. Users who need to maintain traffic confidentiality and minimize the impact of network censorship may require an external VPN. Below are services that, according to independent reviews from 2024-2025, demonstrate stable performance with the desktop and mobile versions of UC Browser. Please note: Accessing prohibited resources may violate local rules, and a VPN does not relieve the user of responsibility.
Speed tests were conducted on WireGuard, Lightway, and NordLynx — protocols currently considered a compromise between performance and security. Data is averaged and may vary depending on server load and distance.

"Incognito" only deletes history on your device. Only a VPN provides channel encryption and IP address masking.
Choose services with an audited no-logs policy (e.g., Proton VPN Free). Remember that free plans often limit speed and the number of locations.
No. iOS does not support plugins for UC Browser. A native VPN application and enabling the tunnel in the system settings will be required.
WireGuard and its adaptations (Lightway, NordLynx) show the best balance of speed and stability. Use OpenVPN for networks where DPI blocks UDP traffic.
Legal entities are required to use services from the register of the Ministry of Digital Development. Using third-party VPNs may lead to sanctions under Art. 13.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
ExpressVPN (Lightway protocol) shows the maximum download speed, Surfshark is advantageous in terms of price and number of devices, NordVPN offers an extended set of security features. When choosing a service, pay attention to the provider's jurisdiction, the availability of audit reports, and support for WireGuard-compatible protocols. The user is solely responsible for complying with the regulations of their country of residence.
