Dear tech bubble!

We as a company are struggling with the ongoing internet restrictions in #Iran as some of our colleagues live and are gradually unable to work there.

We do have a bunch of options to provide almost any every service even world wide.

Question is what will probably work, what's supposed to be resilient and stable for their everyday work.

@pluhmen @qbi @nd @psy Create an SSH Tunnel to a host somewhere on the internet - could even be an instance at AWS or so. Terminate the SSH Tunnel at e.g. localhost port 3128. Use localhost:3128 as proxy in the browser settings. If the connection gets blocked one day, find another linux server somewhere.

Thanks for your answer, but that won't do, I guess.

In the first place they need a clandestine connection to the internet. On this hop we could establish forwading routes to our networks then.

@pluhmen @qbi @nd @psy Hm… are there no official internet connections available? If so, there is literally nothing you can do. If there is a connection available you have to hide your traffic really really well. I don’t think the government can easily brake SSH. But of course you have to take care of e.g. DNS request. And it will be risky in general.What’s the use case?
