๐Ÿšง When VPNs Get Blocked: Tools That Still Work

Your Phone Has a Secret Invisibility Mode

:no_mobile_phones: Android Censorship Bypass Toolkit โ€” Zero Cost

Free apps that make specific apps disappear from your ISP, government, and every tracker alive.


:world_map: The Underground Privacy Toolkit

Walk away knowing exactly which app to install, which button to tap, and how to pick which apps go invisible while others stay normal.


Your internet provider logs everything you do.
Your government might be blocking half the internet.
These tools fix both โ€” for $0, no tech skills, no root access.


  • :hole: Make any app untraceable with one toggle
  • :unlocked: Unblock sites even when โ€œVPNs are blockedโ€
  • :shield: Stop ads, trackers, and surveillance system-wide
  • :new_moon: Access the dark web from your normal browser
  • :no_mobile_phones: Block apps from touching the internet entirely
  • :money_with_wings: Every tool here is free and open-source

Your ISP used to see everything. Now they see encrypted noise going nowhere.


:trophy: The One App That Replaces Everything

InviZible Pro

Why this is the actual cheat code

One app. Does what 4 apps do separately.

Tor + encrypted DNS + dark web access + firewall + per-app control.

Single developer made it. No corporation. No ads. No tracking. No monthly fee.

Pick which apps go invisible:

  • Telegram โ†’ routed through Tor (untraceable)
  • Banking app โ†’ stays normal (no blocks)
  • Chrome โ†’ your choice

Battery hit: ~8%. Your screen brightness uses more.

60-second setup

Step 1: Install from F-Droid or Play Store

Step 2: Open โ†’ tap Start on Tor โ†’ wait for green

Step 3: Menu โ†’ Fast Settings โ†’ Select Applications โ†’ pick apps

Done. Those apps are now invisible.

GitHub โ€” check the code yourself

Everything it actually does
  • :white_check_mark: Routes chosen apps through Tor network
  • :white_check_mark: Encrypts DNS (ISP canโ€™t see what sites you visit)
  • :white_check_mark: Accesses .onion sites from any browser
  • :white_check_mark: Accesses .i2p sites (different dark web)
  • :white_check_mark: Built-in firewall blocks apps entirely
  • :white_check_mark: Stealth mode defeats censorship systems
  • :white_check_mark: Works on any Android 5.0+ โ€” no root

Current versions: Tor 4.8.18 | DNSCrypt 2.1.14 | I2P 2.58.0


:video_game: The Power User Setup

RethinkDNS + Orbot

What this combo unlocks

Split-tunneling on steroids.

Run simultaneously:

  • Firefox โ†’ through Tor
  • Netflix โ†’ through a VPN
  • WhatsApp โ†’ through censorship-resistant proxy
  • Banking โ†’ direct connection

Plus: see exactly what every app connects to, in real-time.

Built by ex-AWS/IBM engineers who got tired of surveillance.

One-tap Tor setup
  1. Install RethinkDNS + Orbot
  2. Open Orbot โ†’ Start โ†’ wait for connection
  3. Open RethinkDNS โ†’ Settings โ†’ Setup Orbot โ†’ pick mode
  4. Done

Modes:

  • HTTP Proxy โ†’ browsers only
  • TCP Proxy โ†’ all apps
  • Restrict to specific apps โ†’ full control

GitHub | Website


Orbot โ€” The Official One

Made by the actual Tor people

The Guardian Project / Tor Project app.

Most stable. Most documented. The foundation everything else builds on.

What you get:

  • Per-app VPN mode
  • โ€œKindness Modeโ€ โ†’ become a relay, help others
  • Built-in bridges for when Tor gets blocked

F-Droid | Play Store | Website


NetGuard + Orbot โ€” Firewall Combo

Block + route without root

NetGuard = firewall that controls which apps get internet.

Orbot = Tor connection.

Combined = apps you allow go through Tor. Apps you block get nothing.

Setup:

  1. Install NetGuard + Orbot
  2. Start Orbot
  3. NetGuard โ†’ Settings โ†’ Advanced โ†’ Use SOCKS5 proxy โ†’ ON
  4. Address: 127.0.0.1 | Port: 9050
  5. Exclude Orbot from filtering

:warning: UDP leaks to clearnet. Fine for browsing. Use Tor Browser for maximum security.

:construction: When VPNs Get Blocked

ByeDPI โ€” Android Censorship Bypass

Not a VPN. Something weirder.

Doesnโ€™t encrypt. Doesnโ€™t change your IP.

Scrambles your internet packets so censorship systems canโ€™t read them โ€” but websites still can.

Your governmentโ€™s blocking tech = blind.
Zero servers. Zero subscriptions. Just packet manipulation.

GitHub | Website


GoodbyeDPI โ€” Windows Version

Same trick, for desktop

Run the .cmd file. Discord/YouTube/whatever works now.

Download from GitHub releases โ†’ run the script for your country.

Battle-tested against Russian censorship. 10,000+ users.


Zapret โ€” Linux/Router Version

For the router nerds

Install on your router โ†’ entire network bypasses censorship.

Auto-detection: Run ./blockcheck.sh โ†’ it finds what works on your ISP

GitHub

Works on OpenWrt routers.


AmneziaWG โ€” WireGuard That Canโ€™t Be Detected

When normal VPNs get fingerprinted

WireGuard = fast and secure.

Problem: censors recognize its signature and block it.

AmneziaWG adds:

  • Junk packets before handshake
  • Randomized headers (unique per user)
  • Makes your VPN look like normal web traffic

Result: VPN works even when โ€œVPNs are blocked.โ€

GitHub | Docs

Converter: Turn any WireGuard config into AmneziaWG


:globe_with_meridians: Beyond Tor โ€” Alternative Networks

NymVPN โ€” 5-Hop Mixnet

Tor on steroids

Tor = 3 hops.
Nym = 5 hops + fake traffic injection.

Fast Mode: WireGuard-based, 2-hop, quick
Anonymous Mode: Full mixnet, noise packets, defeats AI surveillance

Pay with crypto. No email. No identity. Swiss-based.

F-Droid | GitHub | Website


Mysterium โ€” Decentralized P2P VPN

Connect through someone's home internet

20,000+ residential nodes across 135 countries.

Why residential IPs matter: Websites canโ€™t tell youโ€™re using a VPN.

No central servers = no central logs = nothing to subpoena.

Pay-per-minute with crypto.

F-Droid | GitHub | Website


Bitmask / RiseupVPN / CalyxVPN โ€” Free Forever

Activist-run, zero-cost VPNs

No accounts. No logs. No payment. Ever.

Trusted providers:

Includes Tor for bypassing censorship. Audited by Cure53.

:electric_plug: When Tor Itself Gets Blocked โ€” Bridges

Disguise Tor as something else

Countries that block Tor look for its signature.

Bridges disguise Tor traffic as normal internet.

Bridge What it looks like Use when
obfs4 Random noise General blocking
WebTunnel Normal HTTPS โ€œWhitelist-onlyโ€ networks
Snowflake Video call traffic Volunteer proxies available
Conjure Unused IP space ISP-level deployment
meek Cloud provider traffic Maximum censorship

Enable: Orbot โ†’ Settings โ†’ Bridges โ†’ pick one


Snowflake โ€” Become a Bridge for Someone Else

Help people in censored countries (takes 10 seconds)

Open this: https://snowflake.torproject.org/

Click the toggle. Leave the tab open.

Your browser is now a temporary proxy for someone in Iran/China/Russia.

Youโ€™re part of the resistance now.


Lantern Unbounded โ€” Crowdsourced Proxies

WebRTC volunteer network

Anyone contributes bandwidth via browser tab.

Users connect through thousands of short-lived proxies.

Too many IPs to block.

Used by millions during Iran protests (2022).

GitHub | Website


:mobile_phone: Specialized Browsers

CENO โ€” When the Entire Internet Goes Down

P2P web during shutdowns

Built on Firefox. Uses BitTorrent to share websites between users.

  1. Someone in the network accesses BBC.com
  2. CENO caches and shares it peer-to-peer
  3. You access it โ€” even with zero international internet

Use case: Myanmar, Iran, Cuba, anywhere with blackouts.

F-Droid | GitHub | Website


Fire.onion โ€” Tor Browser, No Setup

Install and browse .onion immediately

Browser + Tor bundled. No Orbot needed.

Panic button. New identity button. No dependencies.

GitHub

:warning: Last updated 2016. Use official Tor Browser for Android for modern security.
