How to Bypass VPN Block in 2017?

[Naster]

which method are you using to make your VPN connection undetectable?

As you know, many ISPs and countries are now starting blocking VPN access  ( Access to VPN providers).

In 2017, telecommunications carriers in China were instructed by the government to block individuals' use of VPNs by February 2018.
Iran, Syria and even Russia are now blocking VPN traffic.

How do they block? They use many methods:

1) very basic way to block these VPN providers is to block the IP of their servers. These information are availble online, so they can easily grab those information online and just block these. Yes the providers will change very often the names and you can even bypass the IP resolution by usng other DNS Servers. But the VPN providers will use the same hostnames for their servers, example us1.nordvpn.com, uk10.ipvanish.com etc. So these can be potentially blocked

2) well, now if you use OpenVPN over unknwn port or even better, you use OpenPVN over TCP 443 (which is by design used for https), a good trained ISP can still block it as the VPN over TCP 443 has some overhead in the packets so that the provider can detect them using DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) and block them.

So guys, which method are you using to bypass these blocks?

Till now, I was using OpenVPN over TCP 443, but i have been in a Hotel and I was really surprised to see how easy they were able to block my VPN connection. Everytime I made a connection to the VPN server, after few seconds it gets disconnected! Meaning some admin (probably) were able to intercept the traffic and classify it as VPN although it was using TCP 443 and obsfucation via static keys. And of course, I was not able to work. I tried wiith many different VPN providers, different ports, and the result was the same: VPN connection not going through.

So please share your experience with this topic.

As vendor of VPN Accounts, I know there are some providers having their own technology and they claim to be undetectable. But if the ISP or Hotstop provider has a list of their hostnames, then they will still be able to block it.

Thanks

Yeah, i live in a different country. Really this issue is also faced here since some months and i was so confused why my vpn gets disconnected in a few seconds.
I tried many vpns but problem remains same. Later i found express vpn,truthfully you will fall in love with it once you use it.
It is undetectable due to its highest level of anonymity. I have no words for this vpn but there are no vpns like this.

What about Avira Phantom? They seem to work also for VPN blocked sites for my experience, while other VPN services didn't work.

I also used OpenVPN on my mobile device and I experienced the same disappointment as yours as I often experienced being disconnected though my signal is strong. Thus, the only reason I can think of is that the ISP is behind all this, they use a blocking mechanism to those noticeable users who are taking advantage on their system. So the ways to bypass this is to change again the sim card and/or change the provider.

Avira Phatom? Are you serious about anonymity or you just want to browse Netflix?

ExpressVPN not bad, but highly anonymous, there I'm not sure 100%.

I already though about setting up my own VPN Server with DigitalOcean, but it will fail with anonymity, because DigitalOcean will log your incoming and outgoing traffic and could potentially "burn" you if needed.

Governments aren't the only ones blocking VPN access. Last month, in a public place where I was using free wifi, I needed to access my Paypal account. So I switched on my VPN, but Paypal blocked me with a message saying I was using a public IP (don't remember their exact terms).

My suggestion is to try several VPNs, they can't be all listed...

Paypal didn't block you because of free wifi or public IP, they blocked you because unusual activity detected, trying to protect your account. This block can be removed just by calling Paypal and saying "hey i m the one trying to connect now".

It's completely different from the scenario listed here. When VPN is blocked, you can't ever open Paypal or any other website, not even www.google.com, all requests will be failing.

Not a VPN, but it's much more resilient than VPN.

It is becoming very popular to bypass censorship in China.

Hi,
interesting tool for socks5. However, where to get the socks from then?

Thanks for the info. Never heard of shadowsocks.

I've actually not needed to use VPN for a long time now, since moving to a country deemed friendly by most sites but when I was still back home, even simple DNS changes were sufficient to access blocked sites. When working in South Asia, VPN extensions for Firefox used to also work relatively well but as people are finding out, these are getting slower to use and are just getting blocked so quickly.

Even TOR isn't finding its way well these days, but I am hearing a lot of success with similar browsers like Tails (which still run on some basic level of TOR). There was a really good service (IPRental) that specifically offered its free software to citizens from Iran, DPRK, China or wherever people had restrictions. They closed down and I don't know what tech they used. Haven't seen a similar service since.

I was using shadow socks for a long time since 2016 and i think it would be a good bypass. this is not the only vpn can be bypass connection from china..
there are some alternative than unblocking.. 
You don't need to unblock your vpn the best you can do i think VPS run a VPS in amazon aws and you can use vpn you wanted..
And start browser they can't detected since vps are not using any vpn..

The best way to get around services that block IPs of known VPN providers is usually to buy some server space and run your own. It's more expensive of course, but can be worth it if you need it, plus then there's no artificial restrictions on how many devices/connections you can use besides the limits of what you're buying.

That's a good alternative.
However, what about Privacy and especially anonymity?... Mostly they will log your activity on their servers, and even if it's encrypted with the strongest keys, there will be an exit node that will be often unencrypted....

Like I said, it closed down sometimes in 2014? I can't remember the exact date. I started using it in 2011 when I needed access to most sites that were blocked from Pakistan (I was living and working there for two years). It was American, and their main service was to provide rotating IPs to users from something like a million residential IPs based out of North America (including Canada). It was popular because it was free to residents of some countries - Iran and North Korea at first, and then they gave open access to more countries during the Arab Spring. I recall TOR being extremely slow in those days, barely quicker than most VPNs and proxies, IPrental didn't seem to cut down on bandwidth. Since they seemed to refresh the IP pool quickly, it got by most blacklists easily too. They used a form of tunneling, but I won't remember the exact tech.
