Have they heard of VPNs or no?

i mean, the country im in right now (uae) has blocked a TON of vpn websites such as mullvad, had to download lantern (open-source vpn so might actually be good?) to access it :|

Just install wireguard on your OS and get the files from the Mullvad site. Also, pay in XMR

@liveinthisworld @gwen Does that even help bypass their firewall when the native app doesn't work

Does the UAE have something similar to China?

Unless they're doing some serious DPI (no idea how they would do that on Wireguard traffic other than plain metadata mining), the only ways they can stop traffic is by stopping anything to certain IP spaces, or certain types of traffic through certain ports, or a combination of both. If they have truly blocked the Mullvad IP space, then no this will not work, but OP mentioned using a different app to access them, which lets me assume that it was a problem with the client.

uae has blocked the mullvad website as well as torproject (also a ton of piracy streaming sites etc), i used lantern to access them before i got protonvpn
