Pros

  • The Los Angeles TRI entry plan is $5.00 CAD/month and carries CN2 GIA, AS9929 and CMIN2 in both directions on one box — there is very little else at this price that does
  • The routing and the IP are checkable before you buy: independent tests cover TRI's dual-direction optimisation, native IPv4/IPv6, few abuse flags and stable all-day latency
  • Monthly billing on almost every line, so picking the wrong route costs one month rather than one year
  • Nine lines across Hong Kong, Osaka, Tokyo, Seoul and Los Angeles on one account, each stating its upstream carriers, data centre and port speed, with +3 IPv6 on most of them
  • The vendor warns you before you pay: the IIJ and Tokyo BGP pages name their peak-hour packet loss in a pre-purchase modal and point buyers at TRI instead
  • Several lines carry published first-hand benchmarks — the LA 9929 line measured 193–197 Mbps up and 192–207 Mbps down on a 200 Mbps port, and the CN2 GIA line has a 189–197 Mbps upstream result
  • Alipay, credit card and USDT are all accepted, and unmanaged services carry a written 72-hour ticket reply target
  • A dedicated-server SKU on AS9929 at $275.00 CAD/month, for buyers who outgrow the VPS ladder

Cons

  • Refunds last 3 days and require under 10 GB of traffic, and the list explicitly excludes 'the network is not good enough' and an IP banned in certain regions — treat the first three days as a test window
  • A GFW-blocked IP is not refundable and not eligible for a free replacement; paid replacement is $5.00 CAD with 30 days between changes
  • No SLA and no uptime credit table, and the Terms of Service have not been updated since 14 March 2023; clause 12 also disclaims all backup and data-loss responsibility
  • The AUP bans public proxy services, VPN tunnels to China and TOR exits; a private encrypted proxy for your own use is expressly allowed, but a first offence means a week of suspension
  • Stock is thin and unannounced: all five Los Angeles TRI plans and all five LA TRI #DC2 plans read '0 Available' when this was checked, along with most of Hong Kong BGP and LA 9929
  • Account balances cannot be withdrawn at all, and cancelling a prepaid period forfeits it (clause 18.5)

CN.HK.INTL.Basic (Hong Kong, international)

$30.00 per year

  • 1 core, 1024 MB RAM, 10 GB SSD, 500 Mbps port, 1000 GB monthly transfer
  • The only annual line in the catalogue, and the cheapest way onto a Hong Kong IP at $2.50 CAD/month equivalent
  • Billed annually, while the Pro and Elite tiers on the same page are billed semi-annually and Ultra is billed monthly

KR.SEL.INTL.Basic (Seoul, international)

$5.00 per month

  • 1 core, 1024 MB RAM, 10 GB SSD, 50 Mbps port, 300 GB monthly transfer
  • The port is the whole product: 50 Mbps on Basic and Core, topping out at 75 Mbps on Ultra
  • A third-party test on this plan measured 19.50 Mbps down and 44.72 Mbps up — well under the nominal 50 Mbps

IP Replacement (add-on, all locations)

$5.00 per replacement

  • A paid SKU in the 'Others' category, with 30 days required between replacements
  • Paying is not enough — the order does nothing until you also open a support ticket naming the service
  • The vendor states a GFW-blocked IP is not eligible for a free replacement, on the grounds that the block follows a ToS breach

DS.US.LA.9929 (dedicated server, Los Angeles)

$275.00 per month

  • Intel Xeon Gold 6248, 64 GB DDR4 ECC, 960 GB SSD, 3 IPv4, AS9929 inbound and China Direct outbound
  • The only dedicated-server SKU captured; the Hong Kong dedicated line could not be verified during this check

Who it is for

  • Buyers who need a China-optimised route on the smallest possible monthly commitment — the Los Angeles TRI entry at $5.00 CAD/month, optimised in both directions
  • Users who want CN2 GIA, AS9929 and CMIN2 on one box rather than choosing a single carrier, which is what the TRI series delivers
  • Anyone who wants a cheap Hong Kong or Los Angeles IP for light workloads and can accept a strict no-refund policy — Hong Kong INTL works out at $2.50 CAD/month
  • Buyers willing to run their own latency and packet-loss tests inside the first three days, since that window is the only refund opportunity
  • Buyers who need to pay by Alipay, credit card or USDT rather than an international card
  • Anyone who just needs unmanaged KVM with a ticket channel — the terms commit to a 72-hour reply
