Unfortunately, thanks to the Great Firewall of China, there has been a lot of resources put in to fingerprint VPNs and block them by state actors. Fortunately, however, there is equally years of some of the smartest minds on the planet working to bypass Chinese censorship, so there are some great OpenVPN alternatives. I really encourage you to look into something like Shadowsocks which Chinese people have found great…

Great example of how Russian propaganda works. To western readers it reads like sarcasm because we acknowledge the truth contained in it. There are tons of addiction problems we are sorting through with these services. But western readers also see clearly the draconian overtones of tyranny in this sort of approach. Hence it reads like sarcasm. To russian and other readers living in dictatorships, this sort of thing h…

How, technically, can they block wire guard? It can operate as pure UDP on any port. Are we referring to wireguard vendors like tailscale here?
This is what I was wondering. I don’t understand these VPNs too deeply (though I do occasionally administer an OpenVPN setup), but I was under the impression that they’re sending encrypted packets over UDP on arbitrary ports. That seems quite tough to analyze and block.
Why analyze when you can whitelist?

Can anyone confirm Shadowsocks works anymore? When I tried to use it a few years ago, it got blocked in a few days. To be honest, I think they are blocking anything that exchanges a lot of data with oversesas IPs, after hitting a certain threshold.

Stay strong, hopefully, Russia will collapse and you'll be free - I may be naive but I still think there are enough Russians who can see this tragedy as the doing of a man who wants to continue to live the life of a king, and it's probably his only way of survival after so many murdering and prosecution.

I'm not going to waste time arguing about fantasy. If you want to have a discussion grounded in reality, I'm up for it. With that said, that statement you made you have in no way shape or form to support it - not about Biden, Trump or Congress, but about Putin.
You have no idea how a country feels under the foot of a dictator that has been murdering, arresting, or crippling any voice that is against Putin.
Not to mention the millions of Russians that left the country, and are now not even allowed to vote in their embassies!
> This is with independent polling as well
How can you have independent polling in a country that has political prosecution? How can you have any semblance of independence when Moscow actively makes an effort to wipe out cultural landmarks, including the language, of the different people who live in Russia?
Moscow has used genocide as a tool to control people, they used it in the past and are currently using it in Ukraine.
Did you know that you have thousands protesting in Russia as we speak, and people are being arrested for it: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-police-make-arr...
