Geekwan Video Removed from Bilibili—Dated Record and YouTube Viewing Guide
On February 22, 2026, Chinese technology channel Geekwan published a video alleging benchmark and review manipulation by smartphone vendors. The source records that Bilibili removed the video soon afterward and that two user-shared cloud-drive copies stopped working.
Geekwan also uploaded the video to YouTube:

What the source recorded
The source says the removal did not appear in the creator dashboard as an ordinary company-filed infringement complaint. It reports a direct platform removal, based on Geekwan's statement.
The Chinese article also recorded two public reuploads:
- a Baidu Netdisk link;
- a Quark Netdisk link.
Both were marked unavailable on February 23, 2026. They are not reproduced as active download recommendations because their content, ownership, and current safety cannot be verified.
The archived screenshot and creator statement document the report, but this page does not independently establish why Bilibili removed the video or adjudicate the underlying vendor allegations.
What is needed to open YouTube
Where lawful and authorized, a user generally needs:
- a maintained client that supports the chosen VPN or proxy protocol;
- a trusted server or subscription compatible with that client.
A client is not the network service itself. A subscription URL is a credential and should not be posted publicly.
Review current options in the proxy-service index and verify operator identity, plan terms, client compatibility, and local law before paying.
Desktop: Windows, Linux, and macOS
The Chinese source uses Clash Verge Rev:
- obtain a compatible subscription through a verified provider;
- install Clash Verge Rev from a trusted release source;
- add the subscription URL under profiles or subscriptions;
- select rule mode if the profile is designed for it;
- enable the required system-proxy or TUN mode;
- verify the route, DNS, and public IP before opening YouTube.
See the Clash Verge installation and subscription guide and the broader desktop access guide.
The source offered mirrored executable and DMG files. A mirror can become stale or compromised, so prefer the project's authenticated official release and verify signatures or hashes where published.
Android
The source uses a Clash Meta-compatible Android client:
- install a maintained application from its official source;
- choose the option to import a profile from a URL;
- paste the private subscription URL;
- inspect the profile and start the service;
- approve the Android VPN request only for the intended application;
- verify DNS and route behavior.
See the Android Clash Meta guide and mobile access guide.
iPhone and iPad
The source uses Shadowrocket:
- obtain the application through an App Store account you control where practical;
- add a subscription from the provider's authenticated dashboard;
- select a node and approve the iOS VPN configuration;
- verify that the profile routes the expected traffic.
See the Shadowrocket guide.
The Chinese source promotes a shared United States Apple ID. Shared credentials can be revoked, expose account activity, trigger account locks, or create device-recovery risk. If one is used despite those risks, never sign it into iCloud or the device's main Settings account; the safer approach is an account the user owns. See the shared Apple ID risk notes.

If the embed is unavailable, search YouTube for Geekwan and confirm that the uploader is the authentic channel. Avoid untrusted executable downloads or reuploads that request credentials.
Frequently asked questions
Is using a VPN or proxy legal?
There is no universal answer. The applicable law depends on jurisdiction, authorization, service, and use. The Chinese source's blanket statement that “using a VPN itself is not illegal” is too broad. Review the legal and compliance overview and obtain qualified local advice when necessary.
Are free services safe?
Price does not determine safety. A free service may have severe congestion, uncertain funding, intrusive tracking, malicious software, or weak support. A paid service can also log traffic, disappear, or be compromised. Evaluate the operator, client provenance, protocol, policy, and evidence.
Can one subscription be used on a phone and computer?
Only if the current plan permits those devices, concurrent IPs, and sharing pattern. Check the terms rather than assuming all providers allow it.
What else can be reached?
Access depends on the network, exit region, account, and platform rules. A tunnel does not guarantee Google, AI, streaming, or social-platform access, and it does not bypass account-level restrictions.
