Is Bilibili buffering like crazy for you too?
TL;DR: install the browser extension
TL;DR: install this in your browser (if you've got a Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey script that does the same thing, remove it first)

Why DNS and VPN tricks are hit or miss
When Bilibili buffers outside China, the usual advice online is "use a VPN", "switch your DNS to 8.8.8.8" and so on. None of that is guaranteed to work.
The real reason is that Bilibili hands you a slow CDN node. All those tricks basically just raise your odds of landing a good node, they don't actually fix anything. That's why it's hit or miss: works for some people, does nothing for others.
If you want to know what a CDN actually is, I wrote a technical blog post about it: How to Actually Fix Bilibili Buffering for Good
The real fix: lock onto the fastest node
To really fix it, you need to know which node is the best one where you live, and then lock it in.
So I built this extension. If you mostly watch in a desktop browser, install the extension above and it forces videos onto the fastest node.
What about Android and TV?
On Android, skip the official app and use PiliNara, a third-party APK (way better, no ads)

On a TV box or smart TV, skip the official TV app (it's straight-up trash) and use blbl
https://github.com/roge4444/blblRogerMod/releases
Same idea for all of them: these apps have a built-in speed test and let you lock the CDN node.
A few last words
This comes from 3+ years of stepping on every landmine myself. Not sponsored.
I built the extension for my own use, and it's free forever. Hope it helps whoever needs it. Feature requests or bug reports: leave a comment or DM me.
If it works for you, a 5-star review would mean a lot. Or drop a star on the GitHub repo:
