Your ISP Is Lying to You. Here’s How to Take Your Internet Back.
Stop Paying for VPNs — DPI Bypass Does It Free
Censorship Bypass Masterclass — Beginner to Advanced
They throttle your YouTube. Block your Discord. Decide what you’re “allowed” to see.
Adorable.
What You Just Found
Your ISP spent millions on censorship tech.
You’re about to bypass it with free tools and 10 minutes.
No hacking. No coding. No VPN subscription.
Just copy-paste commands and watch their blocks crumble.
Why This Hits Different
$0/month — while VPN companies charge you for basic freedom
Zero skills required — if you can copy-paste, you can do this
Works everywhere — Russia, China, Iran, India, your school, your office
Invisible — your ISP sees nothing suspicious
Every device — phone, laptop, router, everything
The “Internet Freedom” Roadmap
| Your Situation | Skip To |
|---|---|
| “A site won’t load” | Layer 1: DNS |
| “YouTube is slow as hell” | GoodbyeDPI |
| “Discord voice doesn’t work” | Zapret |
| “I’m on Android” | ByeDPI |
| “I’m in China/Iran” | Advanced Protocols |
| “I don’t know what’s blocking me” | Start here ↓ |
Step 0: Know Your Enemy
Your ISP uses different tricks. Wrong fix = wasted time.
| What You See | What’s Actually Happening | The Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Site won’t load at all | DNS poisoning (they’re lying about the address) | Change DNS |
| HTTPS blocked, HTTP works | SNI snooping (they’re reading your handshake) | ECH + DoH |
| Connection dies instantly | DPI injection (they’re killing your packets) | GoodbyeDPI |
| Site loads but buffers forever | Throttling (they’re slowing you on purpose) | GoodbyeDPI |
| Literally nothing works | IP blacklist or protocol whitelist | VPN / Advanced |
🧪 Prove Your ISP Is Blocking You (Optional)
# Run this in terminal/command prompt:
nslookup blocked-site.com
nslookup blocked-site.com 1.1.1.1
# Different results? Your ISP is lying to you about where sites live.
# Same results but still blocked? It's DPI. Keep reading.
LAYER 1: The 2-Minute Fix That Solves 70% of Blocks
No downloads. No installs. Just settings.
Step 1: Stop Using Your ISP’s DNS
Your ISP’s DNS = their first tool to control you. Switch to one that doesn’t lie:
| DNS | Speed | Privacy | Address |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Fastest | Good | 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 |
| Fast | Meh | 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 |
|
| Quad9 | Fast | Great | 9.9.9.9 |
Step 2: Encrypt Your DNS (DoH)
Changing DNS isn’t enough — your ISP can still see and intercept it. Encrypt it:
Firefox (Recommended)
Settings → Privacy & Security → DNS over HTTPS
→ Max Protection → Cloudflare
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and Security → Security
→ Use secure DNS → Cloudflare (1.1.1.1)
Windows 11+ (System-Wide)
Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi → Hardware properties
→ DNS server assignment → Edit
→ 1.1.1.1 → DNS over HTTPS: On
Step 3: Hide What Site You’re Visiting (ECH)
Even with encrypted DNS, your browser still announces “HEY I’M VISITING PORNHUB” in plain text during the handshake. ECH encrypts that.
Firefox (about:config)
network.dns.echconfig.enabled = true
network.dns.use_https_rr_as_altsvc = true
Restart browser.
Chrome (chrome://flags)
#encrypted-client-hello → Enabled
Test Your Setup
https://cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/
All green? You just defeated 70% of internet censorship. Try your blocked site.
Still blocked? Your ISP uses DPI. Keep reading.
LAYER 2: GoodbyeDPI (Windows)
This is where the real magic happens.
GoodbyeDPI manipulates your network packets to confuse your ISP’s Deep Packet Inspection. They spent millions on it. This free tool breaks it.
Installation (30 seconds)
- Download: https://github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI/releases
- Extract to
C:\GoodbyeDPI(no spaces in path!) - Run as Administrator
Quick Start
goodbyedpi.exe -9
Try your blocked site. If it works, you’re done. Set it to auto-start and forget it exists.
It Didn’t Work? Tune It.
🇷🇺 Russia — YouTube Fix (2025 Confirmed Working)
Default that works for most:
goodbyedpi.exe -e 2 -f 1 --reverse-frag --dns-addr 77.88.8.8 --dns-port 1253
Moscow / St. Petersburg / MTS:
goodbyedpi.exe -7 -e1 -q
Rostelecom:
goodbyedpi.exe -r -m -e 2 -f 1 --reverse-frag
YouTube site loads but videos don’t play:
goodbyedpi.exe -1 -e2 --wrong-chksum
“I’ve tried everything” mode:
goodbyedpi.exe -e 40 -f 2 --auto-ttl --wrong-chksum --wrong-seq
⚠️ Chrome Users — IMPORTANT
Go to chrome://flags:
#enable-quic→ Enabled#post-quantum-key-agreement→ Disabled ← This breaks YouTube bypass
Without this, you’ll rage-quit thinking GoodbyeDPI doesn’t work. It does. Chrome is the problem.
🔧 Make It Auto-Start (Windows Service)
Run as admin:
service_install_russia_blacklist_dnsredir.cmd
Now it starts with Windows. You’ll never think about it again.
To remove:
service_remove.cmd

Settings That Work
Mode: Desync
Split Position: 2
Desync Method: fake,split
TTL: Auto
Command-line equivalent:
--split 1 --disorder 3+s --mod-http=h,d --auto none --tlsrec 1+s
All Mobile Options Compared
| App | Platform | What It Does | Root? |
|---|---|---|---|
| ByeDPI | Android | DPI bypass | No |
| 1.1.1.1 (WARP) | All | Cloudflare tunnel | No |
| Hiddify | All | All protocols | No |
| Amnezia VPN | All | Obfuscated WireGuard | No |
| Orbot | All | Tor network | No |
| Psiphon | All | Obfuscated proxy | No |
iPhone Users
Bad news: iOS doesn’t allow the low-level packet manipulation needed for direct DPI bypass.
Your options:
- WARP (1.1.1.1 app) — Best option, works for most blocks
- Change DNS — Settings → Wi-Fi → Your network → Configure DNS
- Router-level bypass — Set up at home, protects all devices
- Onion Browser — Tor, slow but works
Country-Specific Playbooks
🇷🇺 Russia (2025)
The Situation
- YouTube: Throttled (not fully blocked)
- Discord: Voice/API blocked
- Instagram, Facebook, Twitter: Fully blocked
- Most VPNs: Actively detected and blocked
- ECH: Blocked by TSPU
What Actually Works
| Method | Success Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GoodbyeDPI / Zapret | 95% | Best for YouTube |
| AmneziaWG | 95% | WireGuard + obfuscation |
| VLESS + Reality | 99% | Requires your own server |
| WARP | 70% | Hit or miss |
Your Move
- YouTube slow? → GoodbyeDPI with configs above
- Discord broken? → Zapret GUI (Flowseal build)
- Instagram/Facebook? → AmneziaVPN or VLESS+Reality
🇨🇳 China (Great Firewall)
The Situation
GoodbyeDPI, GreenTunnel, simple tricks DO NOT WORK HERE.
The GFW is the most sophisticated censorship system on Earth. It uses AI, active probing, protocol fingerprinting, and more.
What Actually Works
| Method | Success Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| VLESS + Reality | 95%+ | Current gold standard |
| VMess + WS + TLS + CDN | 90% | Route through Cloudflare |
| Hysteria 2 | 70% | Fast but UDP may be blocked |
| Tor + WebTunnel | 60% | Slow but works |
Your Move
You need a VPS outside China + VLESS+Reality setup. No shortcuts.
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh)
Use CN2GIA routes for best speeds.
🇮🇷 Iran
The Situation
Protocol whitelist — only DNS, TLS, HTTP on specific ports allowed. SSH throttled to unusability. Internet shutdowns during protests.
What Actually Works
| Method | Success Rate |
|---|---|
| VLESS + Reality | 95% |
| Tor + Snowflake | 70% |
| Psiphon | 75% |
Your Move
VPS recommendations: Hetzner Finland, Vultr Singapore
Automated setup script:
curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/justiceformahsa/e97bf42e8010b8b09ae33180fd72d65a/raw/v2ray.sh | bash
Good Reality target domains: www.bing.com, www.microsoft.com, github.com
🇮🇳 India
The Situation
Lighter censorship. Simple fixes work 90% of the time.
ISP Breakdown
| ISP | How They Block | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Jio | SNI filtering + DNS | GoodbyeDPI + DNS change |
| Airtel | SNI filtering + TCP RST | ECH + DoH or GoodbyeDPI |
| BSNL/MTNL | DNS only | Just change DNS |
| ACT Fibernet | DNS only | Just change DNS |
Your Move
- Change DNS to 1.1.1.1
- Enable DoH + ECH
- Still blocked? → GoodbyeDPI
That’s it. You’re probably done.
🇹🇷 Turkey
The Situation
Discord blocked. Twitter throttled during “events.”
What Works
- GoodbyeDPI: 90%
- WARP: 95%
- DoH + ECH: 85%
Your Move
Start with WARP. If blocked, GoodbyeDPI.
Advanced Protocols (When Your Government Actually Tries)
For China, Iran, and anywhere simple tools fail.
Protocol Tier List (2025)
| Protocol | Detection Rate | Speed | Setup Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLESS + Reality | <1% |
Medium | |
| AmneziaWG | ~5% |
Easy | |
| Hysteria 2 | ~15% |
Medium | |
| VMess + WS + TLS | ~30% |
Medium | |
| Trojan | ~90% |
Easy | |
| Shadowsocks | ~95% |
Easy |
Trojan and Shadowsocks are basically dead. Active probing defeats them within hours.
🔧 VLESS + Reality Setup
Why it works: Mimics TLS handshake to a real website (microsoft.com, etc). Censors see normal HTTPS traffic to a legit site.
Server (Ubuntu):
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh)
Client apps:
- Windows: v2rayN, Nekoray
- macOS: Nekoray, V2RayXS
- Android: v2rayNG, NekoBox, Hiddify
- iOS: Shadowrocket ($), FoXray, Streisand
- Linux: Nekoray, sing-box CLI
🔧 AmneziaWG (Obfuscated WireGuard)
Why it works: WireGuard + junk packets + header randomization. Looks like random UDP noise.
Full guide: https://docs.amnezia.org
Works in Russia where standard WireGuard is blocked.
🔧 Hysteria 2 (QUIC-based)
Why it works: Built on QUIC/HTTP3. Looks like normal web traffic. “Brutal” congestion control pushes through packet loss.
Downside: If your ISP blocks UDP 443, it won’t work.
Bypass by Category
| Content | Block Method | Solution | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| DNS | Change DNS | 95%+ | |
| DNS filter | Change DNS / disable ISP filter | 99% | |
| DNS + IP | DNS change → WARP → mirrors | 80-95% | |
| DPI + DNS | GoodbyeDPI / ByeDPI | Varies | |
| DPI + QUIC block | Zapret with Discord config | 85% | |
| DPI throttling | GoodbyeDPI with hostlist | 90% | |
| Protocol detection | VLESS+Reality / AmneziaWG | 95%+ |
Router-Level Setup (Protect Every Device)
Set up once. Phone, laptop, smart TV, guests — all protected.
OpenWRT + Zapret
# SSH into your router
ssh [email protected]
# Install prerequisites
opkg update
opkg install iptables-nft ip6tables-nft ipset curl ca-certificates git-http
# Install Zapret
cd /opt
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/bol-van/zapret.git
cd zapret
./install_easy.sh
OpenWRT + Encrypted DNS (DoH)
opkg install https-dns-proxy luci-app-https-dns-proxy
Configure via: Services → HTTPS DNS Proxy
School / Work Networks
Fair warning: This may violate policies. Getting caught = consequences. Your call.
| Method | Success | Detection Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile hotspot | 100% | Low |
| DNS change | 60% | Medium |
| Web proxies | 50% | Medium |
| Tor Browser | 85% | High |
| SSH tunnel | 90% | Medium |
Chromebook Quick Fixes
- Try DNS change (if not admin-locked):
Wi-Fi → Settings → DNS → 8.8.8.8 - Web proxies: croxyproxy.com, proxysite.com
- Best option: Use your phone’s hotspot
Wireshark: Prove Your ISP Is Lying
The TTL Trick (Catch Your ISP Red-Handed)
When your ISP’s DPI blocks you, it injects fake TCP RST packets pretending to be from the server.
How to catch them:
- Real server packets: TTL ≈ 45-50 (traveled many hops)
- Fake ISP packets: TTL ≈ 62-63 (only 1-2 hops away)
Wireshark filter:
tcp.flags.reset == 1
If the RST packet that killed your connection has a suspiciously high TTL (like 62 when the server is 15+ hops away) — your ISP injected it.
That’s not the server rejecting you. That’s your ISP pretending to be the server.
Auto-Config Tools
Don’t guess. Let these find what works for your ISP.
| Tool | Works With | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Zapret BlockCheck | Zapret | ./blockcheck.sh (built-in) |
| GoodCheck | GoodbyeDPI, Zapret, ByeDPI | ntc.party |
| DPI_Blockcheck | GoodbyeDPI, Zapret | GitHub |
| Zapret GUI | Zapret (Windows) | Flowseal |
Troubleshooting
GoodbyeDPI doesn't do anything
- Did you run as Administrator?
- Try
-9first, then:-e 40 -f 2 --auto-ttl --wrong-chksum - Is antivirus blocking WinDivert? Add exception.
- Using ESET? It’s incompatible. Period.
- Try
--blacklist russia-blacklist.txtto only process blocked domains
YouTube loads but videos won't play
- Go to
chrome://flags→ disable#post-quantum-key-agreement - Enable
#enable-quic - Try:
goodbyedpi.exe -1 -e2 --wrong-chksum
ECH shows 'No' on the test
- Is DoH enabled? Test at https://1.1.1.1/help first
- DoH works but ECH doesn’t? Your country/ISP blocks ECH. Use GoodbyeDPI instead.
- Site doesn’t support ECH? Only Cloudflare-proxied sites do.
WARP won't connect
- Try switching modes (WARP ↔ WARP+ ↔ WireGuard)
- Connects but sites still blocked? Your ISP blocks WARP itself.
- Use AmneziaVPN or advanced protocols instead.
ByeDPI connects but nothing works
- Try different desync modes:
fake,split,disorder - Adjust split position: 1, 2, 3
- Toggle “Wrong Checksum” and “Wrong Sequence”
The Master Cheat Sheet
| Your Problem | Try First | Then | Nuclear |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site won’t load | Change DNS | DoH + ECH | WARP |
| HTTPS specifically blocked | ECH + DoH | GoodbyeDPI | WARP |
| Connection dies mid-handshake | GoodbyeDPI -9 |
Tune settings | Zapret |
| Site loads but slow AF | GoodbyeDPI | WARP | VPN |
| IP is blacklisted | WARP | VPN | Tor |
| Heavy censorship (CN/IR) | VLESS+Reality | AmneziaWG | Tor+Bridges |
| VPNs themselves blocked | AmneziaWG | VLESS+Reality | Tor+obfs4 |
The 5-Minute Speedrun
For 80% of you, this is all you need:
1. Change DNS → 1.1.1.1
2. Enable DoH → Browser settings
3. Enable ECH → Browser flags
4. Test → cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/
5. Still blocked? → GoodbyeDPI (Win) / ByeDPI (Android)
6. Still blocked? → WARP app
7. Still blocked? → You're in a serious censorship country.
VLESS+Reality time.
