Let’s see if the Lemmy devs can build a media proxy. Federated systems are an amazing way to bypass censorship, as the government would have to play cat and mouse as well.
Yeah there’s VPNs, but it’s a constant game of cat and mouse to find one that works. They use deep packet inspection to analyse internet traffic and scramble anything that resembles a VPN.
I even tried renting a server and running OpenVPN on it to have my own VPN server, but that started getting scrambled in the first week of use.
Sucks subscribing to a VPN then finding out it doesn’t work like a week later, which has happened to me more times than I can count.

I can see posts from other instances but all content hosted on blahaj.zone like media won’t load. That includes images videos etc.

Have you tried something like this https://github.com/dmitriykuptsov/soho-vpn-over-tls/
yet?
Or maybe one of these: https://github.com/topics/deep-packet-inspection
Just some ideas. Sorry you have to deal with an extra shitty government.
I have not, but those are some neat resources you shared that warrant looking into 👀. Thank you!
Might not be useful, but v2ray might work if open vpn fails. Docs should have and English option in the corner.
