Hot Take My personal experience trying different VPNs in IRANs high censorship level

[amir 957]

“Personal experience “

Sharing my experience after trying almost every VPN with different ISPs, this is the list that i can at least rely on in every situation, I won’t mention VPNs that sometimes work and sometimes don’t:

Mullvad
Geph
Adguard
F-secure Freedom
Bitdefender
Proton
Speedify
Phsiphon
Outline (tried different free servers, needs lots of volunteers from outside of Iran)
OrBot

TorBrowser Snowflake
ExpressVPN
NordVPN ( Obfuscated servers)
Windscribe (WStunnel for desktop app, extension for browser)

I rather choose a VPN that works at highest censorship levels , this is the time that the team behind a VPN company and developers show their capability

I don't know if you've tried AirVPN yet, but it might be worth a shot. The forums there are very helpful and active on the subject of censorship as well.

Use AirVPN from Iran with SSL (PC & Android)

Since it is not very easy to use a VPN from countries like Iran a recorded a tutorial on how to use airvpn from these countries: https://usefulvid.com/bypass-the-persian-and-chinese-firewall-by-using-airvpn-with-ssl/ The videos are hosted on my website and on youtube. The reason is that it is not...

TorBrowser Snowflake

I always keep a Snowflake instance open in my browser when I'm not at my PC, so it's nice to get real-world confirmation that it actually works.

You have no idea how helpful it is

Thanks
I will give it a try

I often noticed that it was the same in China or in other countries where VPNs are often blocked and prohibited...
I think there is VyprVPN which can bypass some blocking (with their protocol, Chameleon)

How did nordvpn work? It can't even bypass my schools firewall.

Also did you try using hydra in Bitdefender vpn, it seems to be quite good at bypassing

Try this one: ultrasurf.us/

I just installed the extension. Is this what you use?

Edit: 3 users have already connected to the web. Their extension or their web page is an easy way to help users who face censorhip walls.

For Mullvad, it might require the use of SOCKS5 proxy:

SOCKS5 proxy

Use our SOCKS5 proxies to further minimize your computer's identity from being revealed and reduce CAPTCHAs.

I use this webpage.
Personally wouldn't install the extension. Every added extension just screams another attack vector/fingerprintable characteristic to me.

 

[oldschool]

I use this webpage.

This is what I use after figuring out that it could be enabled via the web page.

nord specific servers work
No I didn’t use Hydra for Bitdefender
Will give it a try

 

[Slerion]

Most VPN should work which run Obfuscated servers ( Aka SSL wrapped open VPN or SSL wrapped other protocols )

but you also need a VPN with tons of ip / which swaps servers often
thats why mullvad failed they dont swap often and have their entire server list visible including IP on their website , the dream of any censorship country easy to block.

 

[CyberTech]

What about Atlas VPN?

I agree with your comment on Nord.
