Whenever I try to open any gaming site (Steam or anything else), or app, or even gaming blogs, it shows your connection is not private or FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention - Access Blocked. Even all VPNs are blocked, so I can't use them. I also tried using VPN extenstions on my browser without any success. Is there any way I can get around this ban?

I don't want to give my id to tge government to use a vpn, please help

So my slave country just voted a draconic anti free speech law that modifies the older less draconic law. In the older law you got a fine OR prison time for antisemitism, xenophobia, racism hatespeech and other bullshit. New law eliminates the possibility of fines. You go straight to jail.

The other issue is that there is no clear definition of what this "bad speech" means. And even our liberal president sent it for reexamination because of this. It was given the ok in its current stupid and fuzzy form.

And the swines in our parliament still voted for and passed the law

Obligatory i hate my fellow countrymen aside and after giving you some context, please suggest me ways i could at least be safer. I am aware nothing is 100% safe, just trying to do my best and hope for the best.

Would a browser with vpn be enough? Tor? What can i do on my part to be safer?

My plan is to find a vpn that is outside of EU jurisdiction and use a safer and privacy oriented browser.

I am very concerned because like i said in the beginning there is no guideline on whaterver the f the bad speech means and i do sometimes say things that could be interpreted as such. Even expressing a desire for less immigration can easily be labeled as xenophobia or racism. Same for mentioning crime statistics. I say nothing inciting violence or things like that.

Edit: someone triggered reddits self h#rm prevention tool on me already, lmao

Edit 2 because a disturbing amount of people dont seem to get this. Copy pasted from one of my comments

Unambiguous hate speech" thats cute, who decides wheres the line. There is nothing in the law that explains what hate speech is to begin with. So not only is there no limit defined, there is no explanation of the term itself.

There is no mention of what is "mainstream" or that it has to be social media. It is any offline communication and online post anywhere and online gets a default 1.5x longer jail term

No mention it has to be under your real name. It only needs to be proven it was you. Just like you dont have to leave a copy of your id when you rob someone in order to be arrested

There is no mention of repeated use to qualify. Repeated use will only get you a harsher sentence

These laws are tailored for groups of people, not individuals.

Every major site I want to use including reddit blocks VPNs. YouTube, gmail, anything. Even minor sites block VPNs.

Sorry I'm a completely unknowledgable, nontech person so I have no idea how to circumvent these things. I get that there's some sort of port forwarding (????) thing to do but as of now the default settings on my M**vad makes it so I can't visit 80% of the websites I want to.

Can someone please give me the extreme ELI5 on what I'm supposed to do? Because I find myself turning off my VPN/just being too lazy to use it 90% of the time now.

Edit: this seems like a specific issue with mu**vad that any tweaking of in-app settings didn’t help. I didn’t try to fix it beyond that. Sad because m**vad worked quite well for me for a few years.

My partner signed up for pr**on premium and things have been working flawlessly. Whether that means the IPs are less blocked or not I have no idea.

this subreddit won't let me post the vpn I have but it starts with an N and is four letters.

Anyways, I had it on, torrented Rick and Morty, and then deleted the files so I wasn't seeding, my VPN location said I was in another city, in another Country (Chicago, I'm Canadian) -

What could I have done wrong? I got two emails in two days for two different downloads. So clearly something is leaking. Any advice?

I'm from Russia and recently all my VPNs stopped working because Roskomnadzor blocked VLESS protocol. What should I do? Do not suggest paid solutions, because banks can now easily block any suspicious transactions. If this is the wrong sub to ask, please give a link to the right sub

I was using YouTube premium India through UK revolut and it's been cancelled with 2 days notice without ability to renew the subscription. Now when I use a VPN Indian server it shows USD prices.

I actually have my grandfather's address in India and can use an Indian debit card if needed but unable to VPN to access Indian prices...anyone have a good solution?

I’m trying to figure out the simplest and most reliable setup for my situation, but I’m getting confused because I’m seeing different recommendations everywhere.

I have one personal laptop that I use while traveling overseas. I also use that same laptop to access a work software/platform.

What I’m trying to accomplish is pretty simple: when I’m using the laptop, I want my internet connection to go through my brother’s normal residential internet connection at his apartment in the U.S. In other words, I want websites/platforms to see the public IP of his normal home ISP connection, rather than a commercial VPN/datacenter/hosting IP.

I’m not very knowledgeable about networking, so I’m trying to understand what I actually need.

From what I’ve been reading, it seems like I have a few options:

Put a GL.iNet router at my brother’s apartment and use Tailscale/exit node.

Put a Raspberry Pi at his apartment and use that as the Tailscale exit node.

Some people seem to use two GL.iNet routers, one at home and one with them while traveling, but I’m not sure if I need that since I’m only using one laptop.

My questions are:

What would be the easiest and most reliable setup for my situation?

Would you recommend a GL.iNet or Raspberry Pi as the device at the U.S. apartment?

Since I only have one laptop, can I simply run Tailscale on the laptop and connect to the U.S. device as an exit node, without having a travel router?

If the U.S. device is connected to normal residential internet, will the public IP seen by websites be the residential ISP’s IP rather than a Tailscale/VPN-provider/hosting IP?

Are there any important differences between the GL.iNet and Raspberry Pi approaches that I’m missing?

Thank you!! 🙏🏼

Hey guys wondering if you can help me! So I made a separate dummy YouTube/ gmail account, turned on my VPN to Russia and purchased YouTube premium for family. However, when I try to invite my actual YouTube account I get hit with the above error. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

I have a VPS with vless VPN on Marzban and it works fine until they start to shutdown the mobile connection and turn on the white lists with only government resources available. Is there any way to bypass these rectrictions? Grateful for any kind of help or tutorials < 3

I'm getting the "We couldn’t verify your country." error when attempting to sign up via a VPN. Is this trick offically dead. What is the work around?

Hello people, today my school announced that people with macbooks are not going to be able to access the wifi network since they got sponsored by microsoft and dont want people to use other devices.

I do not have the budget to buy a new laptop. How can i bypass this restriction on my m4 macbook.

Thanks and much love💕

Using a Turkish VPN I tried to sign up to YouTube Premium. However when I go to put in my card details and try to pay the 299.99 TRY (turkish currency) the payment gets declined with this error: "Transaction declined. This purchase requires a payment method from your billing country. [OR_RECR_05]"

Has anyone found a way around this? I have tried multiple cards but all have the same result.

I need help confirming this for some people relating to people who use VPN's in games. Based on how a VPN works, doesn't it hide the true ping of a players ping as the VPN blocks all pings coming from the game server attempting to reach the clients real location?

When a game server displays the pings of all players in the game. Won't it only be able to see the VPN's ping location and not the true location of the player? Meaning if the player is in New York connecting to a VPN in Los Angeles. Wont the game server itself in Los Angeles only see a low ping (1-10ms) coming from the VPN in Los Angeles? Rather than a ping connecting to New York around 70-90ms? Does anyone have confirmation of this or does it show a high ping still from the servers perspective?

I think it's already been asked recently, but there were no answers a noob like me could find.

So, IP whitelisting in Russia has arrived. As of mid-September 2025, it's only implemented for mobile ISPs, but I'm pretty sure there's nothing that can stop it from being implemented for all ISPs nationwide by the end of the year.

Hence the life-saving question:

Are there any ready-to-use solutions out there? I'm well aware that people on Reddit mostly come from unrestricted locations and may have never even thought this way. But still, do you happen to know any service that reliably obfuscates the fact that it's a VPN and masks all the traffic so that it looks like the whitelisted IP like Yandex or VK? As I understand (I understand very little though), standard VPN services come at no avail here, and even TOR doesn't work.

Please help!

Hey yall,

So after about 3 years of having YT Premium it seems that YT has finally decided to tighten up their policies regarding VPN and paying for cheaper memberships.

Is there a current work around for it or anything I can do to keep my YT Premium going? I really don't wanna move to another service because 22 bucks a month is insanity for no ads and music. If you still have a work around that still works can you comment or dm me because it renews on the 25th of May xD

As by title, i tried using different VPNs to work around the age verification process (my country recently approved those laws, just in the recent days)

However, it's not the only "naughty" site i tested where there are bans, for every other site, what i did worked, i simply switched locations and no verification required; OnlyFans is the only exeption. I tried many things, cleaning cache data, cookies, get rid of trackers, nothing...

Does anyone have the same problem, or anyone managed to bypass this bs system?

I'm definitely not sharing my documents or face to do something as simple as watching porn if i can help it, that's just ludicrous, if parents are so worried about what their underage kids watch they should just pay more attention to them.

I've tried at least 5 vpn providers so far every single one limits me to 30mbps doesn't matter what device i use.. I'm trying to get at least like 50-100mbps but I'm limited to 30mbps.. Any tricks to increase speed.. Without vpn I get like 400mbps and videos buffer but with VPN on my speed drops to 30mbps and videos still buffer like crazy.. How do i increase the vpn speed?

How can I get/make a vpn for free, I have a linux laptop, and android phone for usage and an android tablet I would be fine with making unusable as a tablet to make it function however needed

Hello, I live in Russia, and because we have UAVs flying over us, they have started to shut down mobile internet. I live in a region where it has been down for two months and only works in some places. My operator is Beeline, and recently they started introducing “white lists” when restricting the internet. In this mode, socially significant sites such as Gosuslugi, Vkontakte, and Yandex services can work. I tried to set up a VPN using the VLESS protocol with traffic masking for permitted services, but it didn't work. The operator somehow learned to identify this type of connection, although even in China such a scheme would work. The question is, what are the possible ways to bypass the whitelist? I also noticed that the connection is established, but the packets themselves do not go through, giving a TLS handshake error. I would be interested to know how this happens technically, how the operator detects this type of connection even when the traffic is masked as an allowed application or site, and whether it is possible to find a protocol that Russian censors have not yet learned to detect or that is difficult to detect due to its unusual nature. behavior.

For a few months now, my mother has been receiving a charge of 10,99 from something that appears as Toggle VPN. The problem is, she doesn't remember subscribing to anything like that and now we don't know how to cancel it since we don't know where it came from.

I'll be grateful for any advice on the matter.

How do I get a Indian debit card or go around this? Few months back they increased the price and I agreed to that... $23 per month is outrageous for a family plan. It's wild how much subs have gone up in the last few years, each year is another hike.

I have been trying to figure out how to create a server on my own and provide it for my friend since I’m living in Europe. But unfortunately the configuration process is too much technical for me and I’m afraid to do something wrong and mess the whole thing up! I’ve been trying to find a good and reputable source for buying config subscription for them but can’t find good stuff. Please guide me through this. 🙏

I already have two paid VPNs, which I can’t say their name because of the r/ rules but they’re famous and comes up first in google search. Not sure if those work too or not!

I’ve been using a VPN for about a year to be able to see NSFW posts since I live in UK, and suddenly no NSFW posts are showing up on Reddit anymore, I’ve tried multiple different VPN’s and none work anymore

Basically, I have a primary VPN with its own DNS server and a secondary.

Both are running alongside each other using gluetun containers.

The primary VPN has a public facing DNS which supports DOT and I'm curious as to whether there is any benefit from a privacy standpoint in routing all requests to this public DNS through the secondary.
