Works well in China...when it works!
I have been using Lantern since 2015 and the PRO version since 2016. When it worked, it's fast but it's often blocked and have to play catch up with the censors. Still it used to be better than other VPN I see listed here and that will only admit it doesn't work in China after you install them!
Since the Coronavirus and version 5.8.1 (currently 5.8.3) the situation has changed. Now Lantern (Windows version) use most of my CPU and can't connect at all. I wasted countless hours trying to find out was wrong before noticing I wasn't alone and older version didn't have this "feature". While support used to answer sometimes, I got no feedback on this issue despite emails and opened tickets. As Lantern doesn't communicate publicly on those issues, it's not possible to know if the tool has been compromised. I wouldn't recommend it as long as the Lantern team doesn't acknowledge the problem.
