Bypass blocked VPN restrictions (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have recently been finding myself on a network (cellular) that blocks access to VPN. I have tried Wireguard on multiple ports using IVPN and Windscribe with no luck. Similarly tried OpenVPN and IKEv2.

I also tried using Windscribe’s “stealth” protocol and IVPN’s obfuscation protocol but again with no luck.

I refuse to rawdog the internet like that and was hoping to get advice on how to work around that nonsense.

I am on iOS if that matters.

A VPN isn't rawdogging the Internet. For that you should use stuff like ad blockers. A VPN only protects traffic inspection by on-path attackers like ISPs, though HTTPS mitigates most of that, leaving only metadata. It also changes the apparent origin of your connection.

If possible, I'd change providers.
