Give Obscura a try, we get around internet restrictions by using QUIC as transport, which looks like HTTP/3 and doesn't suffer from TCP-over-TCP meltdown: https://obscura.net/

Looks good, just one note: btc was never meant for anonymity, if you would add Monero as a payment option that would be great.


If they're blocking other protocols then likely they're blocking quic also.


Very possible, though many of our users are saying that in network environments where WireGuard is blocked they were able to use Obscura.


Hey, I went to take a look at Obscura and I like the ideas but I can't find the source code.

You are making some bold claims but without the source I can't verify those claims.

Any plans to open-source it?


We should link it in more places, apologies!

Here it is: https://github.com/Sovereign-Engineering/obscuravpn-client


Looks like MacOS and iOS only, which is unfortunate. Support for at least Windows and Android is needed for wider adoption. Linux would also be nice.


We're working on it! Android is next :-)
