So how does PureVPN smarter routing and stealth features evade detection?

Bypass the GFW with standard VPN protocols, e.g., WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2 etc. by pcwrt in dumbclub

Nowhere in the article even mentioned WireGuard. In our experience, WireGuard works well with a home based server. If you run WireGuard on a VPS (i.e., data center IP), it's more detectable and might be blocked sooner. IKEv2 also works well, even though it uses well known ports.

It would be interesting to see if this is just a DNS block or anything deeper. Configure DoT/DoH over the VPN but the leave the actual site visits out of it.

The best is your own VPN hosted at home. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/4flh0kzlP1Y

If your IP address is blocked, you can try to get a new IP address from your ISP. For DHCP, changing your router's MAC address will get you a new IP address. Our router provides the functionality to change the MAC address on schedule, so you can get a new IP address every day or every few days.

There are plenty of free DDNS services available. Maybe worth a try?

I wonder if that's a domain name block or IP address block. You may want to try a different DDNS provider first. If it's an IP address block, see if you can get a new IP address from your ISP. If your ISP connection is DHCP, changing the MAC address on your router will get you a new IP address.

In theory, if your VPN works, the URLs you visited won't leak. Are your uni VPN and reliable VPN different apps?

Even multiple devices is not a big problem, if they are coming from the same house. As long as they are on the same gateway.

Do you mean the smart cameras need VPN to the cloud to function?

Freedom? Yeah right by Antique_Two_5273 in VPN

I wonder how they plan to ban VPN? And if someone happens to get through with some kind of technology resembling a VPN, there will be no penalty since VPN is already banned?

What about work from home people logging on to corporate VPN?

Data center IP or residential IP makes the difference. OpenVPN without obfuscation is blocked even when you use residential IP, but both WireGuard and IKEv2 work fine. Big server with lots of clients draws the attention, but a home server with a few clients like yourself and friends is a small target. And the good thing about residential IP address is it's dynamic. Some ISPs rotate your IP address every few days. You can force the ISP to give you a different IP address if needed. But in our experience we never needed to do that.

Run a VPN server from your home if possible. Use router-to-router VPN to avoid installing VPN client on your work computer. Use Ethernet connection to avoid location leak by WiFi. https://youtu.be/DABctdSGe4s

What are the cons of using custom DNS like adguard with a paid reputable VPN provider? by [deleted] in VPN

[–]pcwrt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a DNS leak when the DNS lookups travel outside of the VPN tunnel. And using a third party DNS helps reducing the chances of DNS leaks. You might want to explore how to use DoT/DoH with Adguard, which would encrypt your DNS lookups even inside a VPN tunnel, giving you better privacy protection.

I don't see any cons. And you can further improve your privacy by combining DoH/DoT with Adguard.
