The easiest way to bypass access blocks to websites of any country

I understand that so far there are no criminal charges for using VPNs, anonymizers and/or tor, so it’s much easier to download an application from the app store and use it for free. But where is the guarantee that they will work tomorrow?

I understand (programmers, system administrators, DevOps, etc.) this method cannot be called unique, optimal, and in general, it is better not to do this, but you must agree – this is a fairly simple way of tunneling traffic that allows you to bypass (if not all) , then a huge number of different network blockings.

More than one article has been written about tunneling via SSH on Habré, but in the form of instructions that can be given to homeownersikeI personally didn’t find any inu (after all, feminities were banned in the Russian Federation).

Also, this method is quite cheap (less than a cup of coffee) and very fast in terms of implementation (literally 5 minutes).

Interesting?

The first thing we need to get is access to a server that is located outside the jurisdiction of the country whose restrictions we want to bypass.

For example, we are in Latvia and want to watch Russian news – we need a server that is located in Russia.

For example, we are located in Turkey and for some reason we wanted to go to a site marked +18, we need a server that is located outside of Turkey.

For example, we are in Russia and want to access a media outlet independent from the Russian government, we need a server that is located outside of Russia.

For example, mobile messengers are blocked (Telegram, whatsapp) in some limited area, we need a server outside this area.

Etc. There can be a lot of options for what you need, as well as the choice of servers. We will look at the example of several providers to understand the analogy.

• Company – TimeWeb (which, by the way, is presented on Habré) has excellent service – timeweb.cloud which just might help us.

So – registration of your personal account begins at the link – https://timeweb.cloud/?i=48109 (attention – affiliate link, if for some reason this is important to you)

Registration is simple, and I think it won’t cause any problems for anyone.

1. Click the “Registration” button

Next, we need to make a minimum payment for future services. Minimum amount 50₽. This is enough for several days of continuous use. But when you don’t use it, you don’t need to pay (I’ll explain why later).

Next we need to rent a server. Click “Cloud Servers” -> Create

And we choose the cheapest option.

Now our server is ready.

Next, we set up our client equipment. For example, we’ll take the iPhone.

Install the Streisand application – https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/streisand/id6450534064

Open and add configuration manually – Configure Manually

Namely:

1. Select Type – SSH

2. Enter the address – obtained from the block above in the form of four blocks of numbers separated by dots. Enter without additional spaces.

3. Enter port (Port) – If the port is standard (22), we can not enter anything.

4. Username – most often this will be root, but other options are possible. They will come to you by letter, which will be sent to you when ordering or displayed on the screen, as in our case.

5. Authorization type – Password. If the type contains something else, you need to click and select the desired option.

6. Password – enter the value in this field without additional spaces, it will also be next to the login.

Then click the Save button and you can click the connect button. A window may appear asking you to add a new VPN connection, and if successful, a VPN icon will appear at the top.

Now all your tcp traffic will go through the intermediate server that you rented above. As a result, all locally blocked services will be available to you. You just need to choose the right server.

As an alternative, you can use VDS providers such as:

Now I’ll tell you how you can save money with all cloud providers. The fact is that payment is most often made for resources by the hour. You need Internet access – pay for the server. Finished watching cats, food, communicating with the roboPsychologist via ChatGPT – delete the server. After that, you will not pay – and thereby save money until you need free Internet access again.

From the very first day of the creation of the RKN (and 15 years have passed), I personally tell everyone that any restriction of freedom does not lead to anything good. Moreover, any blocking:

However, I expressed this only in a narrow circle of like-minded people. I personally believe that all network blocks should be abolished, and everyone should have access to publicly available information.

Ask any question on the topic in the comments, I will definitely try to answer and/or supplement the publication.
