I'm a network engineer, and curious about workarounds and wondering how thoroughly regular internet access is blocked. Is it enough to use a VPN these days, or do you need more off-grid technologies such as satellite or packet radio?

    It is in a whitelist only mode right now only afew select websites are accessible here

    I'm connected through a VPN bought through blackmarket. Yes there is a blackmarket for vpns for a very steep price so every MB counts

    Miserable right? That's how I describe it

    How those VPNs work? They have connections in a select few government run datacenters that are still somewhat connected and get whitelisted ips servers and traffic that they sell for a unimaginable profit

    Edit: people call them outbound sellers here. powerful rich people connected to the regime
