DMIT CN2 GIA VPS: Plans, Routes and Rules

A DMIT CN2 GIA VPS is one of DMIT’s Pro plans. DMIT sells Pro plans in Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Tokyo under what its store calls the Premium routing profile, which includes China Telecom CN2 GIA. Its EB and T1 plans use other routes to China, or none. Our CN2 GIA guide explains what CN2 GIA is, and our CN2 GIA VPS comparison puts DMIT next to other hosts.

DMIT plan names: Pro, EB and T1

DMIT’s plan names give the location, hardware, network series and size. In LAX.AN4.Pro.MINI, LAX is Los Angeles, AN4 the hardware, Pro the network series and MINI the size. The series decides the route to China, and DMIT’s store calls it the routing profile:

In the plan name	Routing profile in the store	DMIT’s description in its store	Locations in the store (October 13, 2026)
Pro	Premium	“This profile includes Tier 1 + all Premium Transit providers, such as DMIT’s backbone, and China Telecom CN2 GIA.”	Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Tokyo
EB	Eyeball	Los Angeles: “This profile includes Tier 1 + Reasonable Effort For China Routing via CMIN2 or similar Chinese ISPs.” Hong Kong, in beta: “This profile includes Tier 1 + Reasonable Effort For China Routing.”	Los Angeles, Hong Kong
T1	Tier 1	“Optimize Internet Routing, Latency for Asia-America, Intra-America. w/o China Optimization” (Los Angeles), or for “Europe-Asia, Intra-Asia” (Hong Kong and Tokyo)	Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Tokyo

The hardware codes are AMD EPYC generations, according to the store: AS3 is EPYC 7003, AN4 is EPYC 9004 and AN5 is EPYC 9005. DMIT’s pricing page warns that “The LAX AS3 series is still being built out and optimized”, with possible “reduced disk performance and a lower SLA”.

DMIT’s support team described the series the same way in a reply that a NodeSeek user posted in September 2026. Pro products “connect to mainland China via China Telecom CN2 GIA and other advanced network transmissions” in most products. EB products “feature best-effort optimized routing for Chinese networks”, in some regions through “AS58807, AS9929, and AS58453”. T1 products are optimized for international directions “excluding mainland China”. DMIT added that “Premium will include routes available to Eyeball and Tier 1”.

DMIT VPS prices and stock

On October 13, 2026, the cheapest DMIT CN2 GIA VPS you could order was HKG.AS3.Pro.TINY, at $39.90 a month in Hong Kong. In Los Angeles the cheapest Pro plan in stock was LAX.AN4.Pro.MINI at $72.90 a month, and in Tokyo every Pro plan was out of stock. These are full prices in US dollars from DMIT’s store, checked on October 13, 2026.

Location	Cheapest Pro plan you could order	Cheaper Pro plans out of stock	Cheapest EB plan
Los Angeles	LAX.AN4.Pro.MINI: $72.90 a month; 4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD; 5,000 GB a month at 10 Gbit/s, then 8 Mbit/s	LAX.AS3.Pro.TINY ($10.90 a month; 2 GB RAM, 1,000 GB at 1 Gbit/s), Pocket ($16.90), STARTER ($34.90) and MINI ($62.90)	None in stock; from LAX.AS3.EB.TINY at $10.90 a month (1,500 GB at 2 Gbit/s)
Hong Kong	HKG.AS3.Pro.TINY: $39.90 a month; 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD; 500 GB a month at 1 Gbit/s, then paused	None	HKG.AS3.EB.WEE, in beta: $24.90 a month; 500 GB at 500 Mbit/s, then paused
Tokyo	None	TYO.AS3.Pro.TINY ($21.90 a month; 1 GB RAM, 500 GB at 1 Gbit/s) and every larger Pro plan	No EB plans for sale

Notes on the table:

• Transfer. Pro and EB plans count transfer “Bidirectional”. DMIT’s docs say that means “both uploads and downloads are counted”. T1 plans count only the larger of the two.
• When the transfer runs out. Los Angeles Pro and EB plans slow to the speed the store lists, such as “Unmetered @ 8Mbps” on the MINI. Hong Kong and Tokyo plans are “Paused” until the monthly reset. DMIT’s docs say a paid reset, available on most plans, costs one month’s fee.
• Longer terms. LAX.AN4.Pro.MINI costs $218.70 per 3 months, $437.40 per 6 months or $829.90 a year. HKG.AS3.Pro.TINY costs $119.70 per 3 months, $239.40 per 6 months or $478.80 a year, the same rate as monthly. HKG.AS3.EB.WEE is sold monthly or at $74.70 per 3 months.
• Store and pricing page disagree. DMIT’s pricing page showed the cheaper Los Angeles AS3 Pro plans as “Order Now” and the AN4 plans as “Out of Stock”. The store showed the opposite, and the pricing page says its table “may not be updated in time due to adjustment, for reference only”. We used the store.
• Sales pause. On May 15, 2026, DMIT said on its Telegram channel that its “resources are in a very critical status” and that it had paused all sales while it bought more IPv4 addresses and added hardware in Los Angeles. On October 13, Hong Kong plans and four Los Angeles Pro plans were back in stock.
• T1. T1 plans have no China optimization. They start at $6.90 a month (TINY) or $36.90 a year (WEE); only the Hong Kong T1 plans were in stock.
• Cogent IP fee. From December 1, 2026, DMIT will charge $1 a month for each IPv4 address in its older Cogent range, starting with 154, that a customer keeps. Switching to a DMIT-owned address is free, its status page says.

DMIT’s site showed no sale on October 13, 2026.

DMIT CN2 GIA routes by carrier and direction

DMIT’s status page lists China Telecom CN2 GIA in both directions on Pro in Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Routes for China Unicom and China Mobile vary by line and direction. This is what does.dmit.fail listed at 11:23 am China time on October 13, 2026, when every route was “Operational”:

Line	China Telecom	China Unicom	China Mobile	Other transit listed
LAX Pro	CN2 GIA, outbound and inbound	China Unicom Premium, inbound	CMIN2, inbound	DMIT backbone, Arelion, Cogent
LAX EB	CN2 GIA, inbound	China Unicom Premium, outbound and inbound	CMIN2, outbound and inbound	DMIT backbone, Cogent, Arelion
LAX T1	None	None	None	DMIT backbone, Cogent, Arelion
HKG Pro	CN2 GIA, outbound and inbound	None	CMI, inbound	DMIT backbone, Global Secure Layer
HKG EB (beta)	None	None	None	DMIT backbone, Global Secure Layer
HKG T1	None	None	None	DMIT backbone, Global Secure Layer
TYO Pro	CN2 GIA, outbound and inbound	None	CMI, inbound	DMIT backbone, Global Secure Layer, NTT
TYO EB and TYO T1	None	None	None	DMIT backbone, Global Secure Layer, NTT

The status page doesn’t define Outbound and Inbound. In a Telegram post in February 2026, DMIT described inbound as the “China Unicom -> DMIT” direction. Read that way, Inbound is traffic from China to your server, which Chinese guides call 去程, and Outbound is traffic from your server back to China, 回程.

So a Los Angeles Pro server sends traffic to all three Chinese carriers over CN2 GIA, while China Unicom and China Mobile users reach it over their own premium networks. VPSDeck’s Los Angeles Pro review (affiliate links, updated April 2026) lists that pattern: CN2 GIA, 9929 and CMIN2 on the way in, and CN2 GIA back to all three carriers. Its EB review (updated March 2026) lists China Telecom traffic coming in over CN2 GIA and going back over China Unicom’s 9929.

DMIT’s location pages add:

• Los Angeles: “Direct peering with China Telecom (AS4809), China Unicom (AS9929), and China Mobile International (AS58807)”, with CN2 GIA on the Premium Network.
• Hong Kong: the node “connects via both CN2 GIA (AS23764) and CMI (AS58453)”, with “Around 15ms average latency to China Mainland with packet loss below 0.1%”. DMIT measures that from Hong Kong to Shenzhen.
• Tokyo: the node “connects via CN2 GIA (AS23764)”, averaging about 28 ms, measured from Tokyo to Shanghai.

AS23764 is CTGNet, registered to China Telecom Global, according to APNIC. The CN2 GIA guide explains how CTGNet relates to CN2.

DMIT Los Angeles CN2 GIA (DMIT 洛杉矶 CN2 GIA)

DMIT’s Los Angeles CN2 GIA plans are the LAX Pro plans; on October 13, 2026, the cheapest in stock cost $72.90 a month. DMIT runs its Los Angeles network across CoreSite and Digital Realty data centers.

Los Angeles is the only DMIT location whose status page lists China Unicom Premium and CMIN2. On Pro, both are inbound only, and tests found traffic back to China Unicom and China Mobile users leaving on CN2 GIA. In a NodeSeek test on September 26, 2026, Pro’s route back to a Tianjin Unicom line ran on CN2 GIA to Shanghai and Beijing, then switched to China Unicom’s 4837 backbone. EB’s route stayed on China Unicom’s networks the whole way: China Unicom Global (10099), 9929, then 4837 in Tianjin.

DMIT reports problems on these routes on its status page and Telegram channel:

• On September 18, 2026, DMIT’s CN2 GIA access point in CoreSite LA2 lost packets, and DMIT moved traffic to its other access point, which it calls DRT, for 7.5 hours. It said “Network performance for all products is currently unaffected.”
• CN2 problems hit Los Angeles Pro on March 3 and 6, July 22 and August 18, 2026. On August 18, DMIT said switching all traffic to one CN2 core cut packet loss “from 30% to 4%”.
• China Unicom’s 9929 network caused loss and latency on EB on February 2, April 9 and August 31, 2026. On August 31, DMIT said 9929 was “causing packet loss rates exceeding 30%” and moved Pro’s China Unicom inbound traffic to GTT.
• In April 2026, DMIT said CMIN2 “is heavily oversold (On China Mobile US-CN backbone end)” and that it kept a 20% bandwidth reserve.

DMIT Hong Kong and Tokyo CN2 GIA

DMIT’s Hong Kong and Tokyo Pro plans reach China Telecom over CN2 GIA on CTGNet (AS23764), and China Mobile users reach them over CMI; neither location lists a route for China Unicom. Hong Kong had every Pro plan in stock on October 13, 2026, from $39.90 a month. Tokyo had none.

• Hong Kong (Equinix HK2): HKG Pro lists CN2 GIA both ways and CMI inbound. HKG EB is in beta. DMIT says its routing is “still being tuned and optimized” and that it “is not yet recommended for production workloads that require high stability”; the status page lists no China route for it.
• Tokyo (Equinix TY8): TYO Pro lists CN2 GIA both ways and CMI inbound. The status page also lists a TYO EB line with no China route, but the store sells no Tokyo EB plans. In January 2026, DMIT reported that the NCP submarine cable carrying CTGNet’s CN2 GIA between Tokyo and Shanghai was disrupted; after another cut on March 6, it said Tokyo Pro had “Higher latency (bypass HKG.)”.

DMIT IPv6 routing

DMIT gives every instance a /64 of IPv6, but in October 2026 tests its IPv6 routes back to China Telecom mostly used the ordinary 163 backbone (AS4134), not CN2 GIA. Check IPv6 separately if your users connect over it.

• Los Angeles Pro, October 7 to 9, 2026: a NodeSeek user found the IPv4 route back to Guangdong Telecom on CN2 GIA. The IPv6 routes back to China Telecom in Shanghai and Guangzhou ran on the 163 backbone, and to Beijing through China Unicom’s 9929 and 10099. IPv6 routes back to China Unicom used 9929 or 10099, and to China Mobile CMIN2. Over IPv6 from a Guangdong Telecom home line, Cloudflare’s speed test measured 71.5 Mbit/s down and 3.45 Mbit/s up. The tester’s advice was for China Telecom users to stay on IPv4.
• Los Angeles, earlier in 2026: VPSDeck’s Los Angeles Pro review (affiliate links, updated April 2026) listed Pro’s IPv6 traffic back to China Telecom on 9929, not 163. DMIT announced on June 9, 2026 that “AS9929 IPv6 inbound is ready for LAX.Pro and LAX.EB”.
• Hong Kong Pro, October 4, 2026: a NodeSeek user’s network report at about 4 am China time showed IPv6 traffic back to China Telecom and China Unicom on 163 and to China Mobile on CMI, while IPv4 traffic used CTG GIA for all three.
• Tokyo Pro, October 10, 2026: a report early that morning showed the same IPv6 pattern: 163 for China Telecom and China Unicom, CMI for China Mobile.

On October 8, 2026, a NodeSeek user quoted an earlier DMIT explanation, in Chinese, of why Los Angeles Pro’s IPv6 doesn’t use CN2: CN2 (AS4809) offers IPv6 only on its overseas segment, so the cross-border and mainland parts of the route are AS4134. We couldn’t find that explanation on DMIT’s own pages.

DMIT acceptable use policy on proxies and VPNs

DMIT allows encrypted private proxies but bans VPN tunnels to China. Its acceptable use policy, last updated on November 12, 2025, says you may not:

Provide Public Proxy Services that could result in the blocking of DMIT IP space or ASN. [Encrypted Private Proxy are allowed]. The principle of judgment: we received IP SPAM warming from other networks, at the same time, the Uplink and the Downlink Traffic was equal.

Use this service to build VPN tunnel(Include, but are not limited to, L2TP, openvpn, PPTP, IPSec, Cisco Anyconnect) to China.

The same list bans hosting Tor exit nodes and “Occupying a large amount of bandwidth continuously for a long time”. Depending on the violation, DMIT “may implement a service suspension or null routing action for a period of 7 to 30 days, or proceed with immediate service termination”.

If your server’s IP address gets blocked, DMIT’s rules for Pro and EB plans allow a free change when “ICMP and all TCP ports are blocked”, the plan is at least 7 days old and has 7 days left, at most once every 15 days. If the address was already blocked when the server was delivered, DMIT changes it for free through a ticket. Otherwise a change costs $5. On T1 plans every change costs $5, and DMIT says T1 addresses “are not guaranteed to be available in sensitive regions for the first connection”.

Before you use a VPS to reach blocked services from China, read what the law says about VPNs in China.

DMIT refund policy

DMIT gives a full refund within 3 days of a new order if you’ve used no more than 30 GB of transfer, and a partial refund within 30 days. Refunds go to your DMIT credit with no fee, or back to your original payment method minus the payment provider’s fee; DMIT says Alipay refunds have no fee.

DMIT won’t refund to your payment method in these cases, among others in section 19 of its terms:

• “The network is not good enough”
• “IP geographic location reason”
• “IP addresses are not available in some region but the transfer used has exceeded 3GB”
• three refunds on the same product series, renewal invoices, or invoices paid with account credit

If your IP address isn’t reachable everywhere, DMIT asks you to contact sales “The same day you bought”. DMIT stops the server when you ask for a refund and deletes it once the refund is confirmed.

DMIT VPS review: what independent tests found

Independent tests in 2026 found DMIT Pro fast for China Telecom at the evening peak and EB better for China Unicom, while at midday the two lines were close. These are single users’ tests. NodeSeek is a Chinese hosting forum, and the NodeSeek posts below have no affiliate links.

Los Angeles

• Pro vs EB, September 26, 2026 (NodeSeek): from a Tianjin Unicom home line, with 8 connections, EB and Pro were close at 12:50 pm: 645 and 672 Mbit/s, with no loss. In the 8 to 11 pm peak, EB still reached 654 Mbit/s, while Pro stayed at 89 to 91 Mbit/s in three runs. In the tester’s server-side tests, a single connection to Shanghai Telecom reached 634 Mbit/s on Pro and 136 Mbit/s on EB.
• Pro, February 2 to 4, 2026 (VPSDeck, affiliate links): single-connection tests at 10:50 pm on February 4 from Anhui Telecom (500 Mbit/s), Shanghai Unicom (300 Mbit/s) and Anhui Mobile (500 Mbit/s) lines came close to full speed on the Telecom and Unicom lines. VPSDeck said the Mobile line, a business line, fell short because of its own limits. A long ping at 9:50 pm showed almost no loss across China.
• EB, March 22, 2026 (VPSDeck, affiliate links): the same tests on an EB plan, at 10:50 pm, gave the same result.

Tokyo

• Pro, September 18, 2026 (NodeSeek): on an older Tokyo Pro plan with a 500 Mbit/s port, single-connection tests at 9:47 pm measured 573.52 Mbit/s from a Shanghai Telecom line (36 ms), 132.87 Mbit/s from Beijing Unicom (90 ms) and 27.47 Mbit/s from Shanghai Mobile (167 ms).
• Pro, October 10, 2026 (NodeSeek): a network report found IPv4 traffic back to all three carriers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou on CTG GIA or CN2 GIA. On the way in, China Telecom used CN2 and CTGNet, China Unicom its 4837 backbone, and China Mobile CMI, then SoftBank. Latency to Shanghai was 32 to 35 ms.

Hong Kong

• Pro, October 4, 2026 (NodeSeek): a network report at about 4 am China time found IPv4 traffic back to all three carriers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou on CTG GIA. Latency was 9 to 16 ms to Guangdong, 28 to 32 ms to Shanghai and 42 to 80 ms to Beijing. We found no 2026 speed test of Hong Kong Pro at the evening peak.

Little difference

• In the Tianjin test above, Pro and EB were within 30 Mbit/s of each other at midday.
• In our off-peak traces on October 12, 2026, China Telecom’s latency was about the same to DMIT’s Pro and T1 servers in Los Angeles: 170 ms, and 165 ms to the last T1 hop that replied.
• Reddit, September 2026: an r/VPS post titled “Do US ‘optimized routes’ really matter that much for Chinese users? My experience says maybe not always” has since been removed by Reddit’s filters, so we couldn’t see which hosts it compared. A reply from the account Euronodes, which said “we are in EU”, put the bottleneck at the firewall: “doesnt matter if you paid GIA or not”. A reply in October disagreed: “Optimized routes do matter against the Chinese great firewall”.

Routes we traced to DMIT servers

We ran traceroutes through Globalping probes on Chinese carrier networks to DMIT’s looking-glass servers, which DMIT lists at lg.dmit.sh. They show only the route from China to the server, from one probe each time.

Probe in China	Date and time (China)	DMIT server	Route	Time to server
China Telecom (AS4134), Guangzhou	Oct 12, 7:58 am	LAX Pro	One 163 hop (202.97.43.78), then CN2 (59.43.x.x) to Los Angeles	170 ms
China Unicom (AS4837), Changsha	Oct 12, 7:58 am	LAX Pro	4837, then 9929 in Shanghai, then China Unicom Global (AS10099) to Los Angeles	162 ms
China Mobile (AS9808), Beijing	Oct 12, 7:58 am	LAX Pro	China Mobile to Shanghai, then CMIN2 (AS58807) to Los Angeles	155 ms
China Telecom (AS4134), Guangzhou	Oct 12, 7:58 am	LAX T1	163 backbone to San Jose, then GTT	165 ms to the last hop that replied
China Telecom (AS4134), Guangzhou	Oct 13, 11:31 am	LAX EB	One 163 hop, then CN2 to Los Angeles	160 ms
China Telecom (AS4134), Guangzhou	Oct 13, 8:39 am	HKG Pro	One 163 hop, CN2 in Guangzhou, then CTGNet in Hong Kong	15 ms
China Unicom (AS4837), Changsha	Oct 13, 11:30 am	HKG Pro	4837 to Hong Kong, then over to China Telecom’s network there (NextTrace labels the hand-off “CU-CTG-Peer”)	20 ms
China Mobile (AS9808), Beijing	Oct 13, 11:32 am	HKG Pro	China Mobile to Guangzhou, then CMIN2 (AS58807) in Hong Kong	42 ms
China Mobile (AS9808), Nanning	Oct 13, 11:30 am	HKG Pro	CMI (AS58453) to Hong Kong, then CMI to Frankfurt and Cogent back to Hong Kong via Paris and Marseille	199 ms
China Telecom (AS4134), Guangzhou	Oct 13, 8:39 am	TYO Pro	One 163 hop, CN2 in Shanghai, then CTGNet to Tokyo	61 ms
China Unicom (AS4837), Changsha	Oct 13, 11:31 am	TYO Pro	4837 via Shanghai to Tokyo, then “CU-CTG-Peer” and CTGNet (AS23764)	58 ms
China Mobile (AS9808), Taishan, Guangdong	Oct 13, 11:31 am	TYO Pro	China Mobile to Shanghai, two hops that didn’t reply, then NTT from Hong Kong to Tokyo	85 ms

What to take from it:

• Every China Telecom trace to a Pro or EB server came in on CN2, including the one to the Los Angeles EB server, as DMIT’s status page says. The trace to the T1 server crossed the Pacific on the 163 backbone (202.97.58.254 in San Jose).
• In Hong Kong and Tokyo, where DMIT lists no China Unicom route, the China Unicom traces left the 4837 backbone for China Telecom’s networks. To Los Angeles, the China Unicom trace used 9929 and China Unicom Global (AS10099); DMIT’s Los Angeles page names China Unicom AS9929 among its direct peers.
• China Mobile’s route depended on the probe. From Beijing, the trace to Hong Kong used CMIN2 and took 42 ms. From Nanning, it went from Hong Kong to Frankfurt on CMI and back over Cogent, and took 199 ms. DMIT lists CMI, not CMIN2, for Hong Kong.

The October 12 runs and the 8:39 am runs were early in the morning, off-peak; the 11:30 am runs were late morning, not at the evening peak. Each is a single run, and none measures speed or loss at busy times. The NextTrace guide shows how to run the same checks on your own server, and the raw output is kept with our records.

Pro or EB: which DMIT line to choose

DMIT recommends Pro for China Telecom users and EB for China Unicom and China Mobile users. That advice comes from the support reply posted on NodeSeek in September 2026: “The telecom network recommends LAX Pro network, and the Unicom and Mobile networks recommend LAX EB network.” The Tianjin test matches it for Los Angeles. Most EB plans also include more transfer at the same price: in Los Angeles, $10.90 a month buys 1,000 GB on Pro TINY and 1,500 GB on EB TINY, though both were out of stock on October 13.

In Hong Kong and Tokyo, only Pro has China routes on DMIT’s status page, and none for China Unicom.

For a trip to China, you don’t need a VPS. For a phone, a roaming eSIM that routes your data outside mainland China is simpler. For a laptop, see VPNs that work in China, and eSIM or VPN for China? helps you choose. A DMIT server makes sense when you run a website, an app backend or a private proxy for people in China.
