@mullvadnet The #UK is a #cyberfascist hellscape and the only working mitigation at this point is to basically help affected users with the option of #SSHtunneling and #customBridges to circumvent #cyberfascism the same way people circumvent it in #Russia and "P.R." #China!

• At least unlike #Proton you actually have a good & working #OnionService so people don't have to expose themselves on the #ClearWeb but can just use @torproject /#TorBrowser to buy a #VPN from you.
  • Not that I endorse you or any #VPNs but I've to at least say when someone does something good and accepts #Monero and uses #Tor in a "#BonaFide" way...

@iuvi AFACT, #SSH-Tunneling works as means to circumvent #VPN blockades from both #Russia and "P.R." #China because they both need that for their own #CyberCrime and #IndustrialEspionage operations.

• Personally, I'd recommend to use @torproject / #Tor and #TorBridges, which you can get at http://yq5jjvr7drkjrelzhut7kgclfuro65jjlivyzfmxiq2kyv5lickrl4qd.onion & https://bridges.torproject.org respectably.
• Ideally make yourself a flashdrive with @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and use that as a more secure option once you got yourself a handful of obfs4 bridges.
  • If you have friends overseas, they may be willing to host a Private Tor Bridge just for you. Unlike an #ExitNode this won't tarnish said IP reputation due to #abuse nor do they have to trust you (unlike a privately setup VPN)…

#VPNs like @mullvadnet are more useful when you need #UDP traffic for #VideoCalling like #JitsiMeet & #WebCall or just #Streaming i.e. #IPTV…

• OFC neither Tor nor a #VPN protect you against targeted attacks, espechally in "meatspace" and you should assess your own security needs and demands carefully.
  • If you already got "love letters" from local authorities, expect to be on their shitlist!
  • Russia is known to deploy #Govware and when you face targeted surveillance against yourself individually you'd have to expect them to only wait for a reason to kick in your doors.

So I do hope you already use #Tor and/or #VPNs…

• OFC this is #NotLegalAdvice!
  • be careful...

@iuvi this seems like a good way to do it at first glance.

• Granted I've not used #sshuttle myself, but I found a decently written #howto for #SSHtunneling.
• Also @nixCraft made a good post explaining #SSHtunnels and also some even more condensed writeup to get you started.
  • Obviously you need a #Server on the "outside" of the #IronFirewall of #Roskomnadzor's realm, but any #VPS with decent bandwith should work.

I'd still recommend to use @torproject / #TorBrowser through that #SSHtunnel for added #privacy.

• OFC for applications that need #UDP and/or don't like #Tor you'd still be able to use them regardless, but for #Messaging like #XMPP+#OMEMO (@monocles / #monoclesChat, @gajim), #IRC & #PGP/MIME (i.e. @delta & @thunderbird) tor just works.
  • I wished @tails_live / @tails / #Tails would've support for #SSHtunnels built-in for extra-hard cases when even private #Bridges ain't an option.

Still #Russia fighting against #VPN useage whilst also being reliant on #CyberCrime & #CyberWarfare from russian soil makes it basically impossible to ban #SSH.

• After all, this would also prevent their agents from communicating since #Gonets¹ and Gazprom Space Systems either don't have global coverage or are too slow to be used for any decent communication resembling realtime beyond narrowband communication.
