I’ve had best success with Speedify. I used a visa gift card to purchase in order to obscure name and address and sent acct info.

[R/privacy](https://www.reddit.com/R/privacy) user here. Idk about the usage in Iran, but from a privacy perspective it seems that Mullvad is really loved. However, if she's trying to circumvent cencorship, she should probably try Tor/Onion Browser/service, as it is kinda made for this. Just don't expect it to be fast If you know her personally and are ready to get your hands dirty to help her, you could also host your own VPN / Onion Node for her via Linode or similar. If the government uses blacklists, that would be very likely to be successful r/selfhosted (and me) will gladly help you

> you could also host your own VPN / Onion Node for her via Linode or similar. If the government uses blacklists, that would be very likely to be successful Can you give a little bit more information how it works? would it be possible with slow Internet speeds? lets say for example 500KB/s

You pay for a Virtual Machine in the cloud to host it yourself this way. Might be $20/month.


dogmankazoo

same question and how to send it as well. i want to talk to my parents and my sister.


pewdiepiewastaken

we talk with facetime since I bought her an iPhone before the revolution

FaceTime audio I think is end to end encrypted. It seems rudimentary, but I trust ‎WhatsApp on Iranian SIM cards less than FaceTime audio. To my understanding, it’s a good idea to enable encryption for iCloud’s (automatic) backups. There is a potential stopgap left open security-wise. This would be helpful to confirm from a third party.


Neon_44

Signal (the blue messenger) is considered the Gold-Standard, but all the other options should be okay as well. Whats-app encryption is pretty good, but it's the Backups that fuck you. IMessage saves all the messages in the cloud, so i wouldn't use it. to recap: calls: all 3 are okay. messages: Signal or whats-app (Without backups!!).


dogmankazoo

i only make 10 usd a day, an ihphone is expensive, i can handle a vpn for 20 usd a month i think


Neon_44

look into TOR and Signal


cheesenachos12

I was there a few months ago and Psiphon was the only one out of like 8 I tried that worked

Hotspot shield is great

Open vpn, open tunnel


mj_ehsan

hotspot shield premium is great. I'm using it and it's almost always connected


Fact-Fresh

My gf is using that and she never asked me ... and am not sure if big brand VPN is good idea to buy as iran gov may banned them? so better luck with small ones ? any advice?


jewtaco

Mullvad vpn will keep you safe


wannadiewannadie

i think buying a config would be the cheapest, It also works pretty well


pewdiepiewastaken

how does that work?


wannadiewannadie

there are different apps you can use (like NapsternetV, Fair, Spectre), you just buy a config which is a file and you upload it in the app, works just like a vpn.


fromvanisle

ExpressVPN seems to work so far. Not the cheapest but it seems to work.


Financial-Meat-9988

Hi, just checking, does it still work?


Snoo51352

No man it doesn't work I've been trying it for my father


Snoo51352

So any recommendations for VPN? Because express VPN doesn't work , I feel main stream ones have been blocked.i even used openvpn and it's blocked now because they'd filter on the work "openvpn" so it will be blocked.


pewdiepiewastaken

Yeah bought per express first and it didn’t work and got her speedify and it works


Snoo51352

Speedify is paid?


pewdiepiewastaken

Yeha it’s 20$ aud a month for me


SoraceQixuan

Is Speedify still working for you?


Djangoxoxo
