I'm an expat in mainland China. Need a VPN to get out into the world. I currently use the android Openvpn client on my devices. Intend to have Kodi on the box.

Pendoo T95 here comes with Kodi installed, international model. Not certified android TV. 4gb ROM.

Mi box 5 is 2gb ROM. Full certification. Remote has Google assistant. Acts as a chromecast.

Given being behind the Great Firewall, what would be preferable for the VPN and Kodi? Outputting to a 55" budget LeTV HDR TV.
