My cousins are in a state where they have blocked reddit, telegram, discord, twitter and other messaging apps. Certain vpns with servers in the country are ok to use but here is what the official rules say
VPN providers and data centers are expected to log:
Your full name, physical address, email address, and phone number
The IP address you used to register for the VPN, together with a timestamp
The IP addresses you use connect to VPN servers in the country, together with a timestamp for each connection
A list of all IP addresses issued to each customer
Your reason for using a VPN
Failure to comply can lead to one year in prison.
Some of these blocked platforms are either mobile only or they don’t work if used through the tor network like reddit and twitter. All these websites and apps work well with orbot which uses the tor network but orbot doesn’t connect at all when a bridge like obsf4 is selected. Many times even after connecting the browser shows the real ip even if the full device mode is selected. Checked tor forums and people are facing similar issues with orbot.
The other option is to use a vpn in a secondary phone and then use these apps. But can a vpn guarantee no ip leaks, no logs? Is there a foss alternative?
