UK, Russia, China, Turkey, VPN restrictions are escalating everywhere, my notes on what actually works now

Decoder: > so DPI has nothing to fingerprint. People shouldn’t go and spend money on expensive eSIM plans. You have to be realistic about the scale of the internet censorship in Russia and China, it just wouldn’t happen in the UK. The ruling party will loose the elections to the right before they could spend billions on a DPI infrastructure. And it’d be impossible to do overnight, as they’ll have to pass and enforce a ton of laws regulating backbone ISP providers. Decoder: > The VPN is one tool being asked to solve three different problems (location, identity, encryption) and only ever really solved the first one. The problem is the actual VPN protocol that is being detected like Open VPN, Wireguard. Then Resi/DC IP range problem comes. In reality, none of that is happening in the UK currently. Decoder: > If your threat model needs actual encryption on top, layer a VLESS Xray setup or a encrypted proxy over the eSIM connection. For most personal use though, eSIM-only is enough to fix what VPNs are running into. Why would you obfuscate your traffic even further if the esim plan supposedly would bypass DPI? This post is kind of silly
