Russian censorship bypass guide

The internet blockages are getting more aggressive day by day, so just buying a VDS and hosting a VPN server there is not enouugh anymore. Basically with the new DPI systems featuring machine learning that can detect even the most secure VPN protocols and throttle traffic for them, you basically have to stack up on as many servers as you can from different providers and hope at least one of them will work when you need it. Thankfully theres a project called [Prihs] (which I am in no way affiliated to) that has three vless subscriptions that contain quite a lot of xray servers hosted on many different hosting providers across many countries that are regularly rotated. And it is completely ☆FREE☆.

You can also use [mine], but I can't gurantee it will work for you. Most of the time it doesn't even work for me.


So now that you have a vless subscription with at least some working servers the other thing you need is a client app. But which one to choose? The [Prihs] project helps with that too. You can choose any client that is recommended by them. I choose Throne for the desktop devices and Karing for the mobile devices. Regardless of client you'll need to configure the routing rules (at least route geoip:ru and geosite:ru throug the "Direct" outbound, or, if the client has built in routing rules for Russia just turn them on. I personally also route bittorent traffic through "Direct" too, but you don't have to) and inbound authorization (just set some random username and password. [Why?]).


Let's hope things won't get worse and this'll continue to work.
