Express VPN in Iran

It’s been couple of days (2022/12/22) when I connect to servers available to connect in Iran I have severe time outs while pinging 8.8.8.8 and network goes up&down. Literally useless. And to be said VPN works only on my iPhone and not on my windows laptop. (Same server that is connected on my iPhone won’t connect on laptop)

Somehow my network detects when I connect to internet and scrambling starts. And that’s the whole point. Government trying to cut off all access to free internet.

I did a little research as usual and got to the conclusion that my ISP knows when I’m connecting and starts the disruptions accordingly and ofc its some sort of AI working the thing. It’s been said that some VPN offer Obfuscation and it’ll solve the problem, which in express VPN case I have no idea what to do and my knowledge about such things is so primitive.

So please if you know a solution or any suggestion that would be appreciated.

Try connecting to uk midlands or israel.

Actually their lightway protocol is the best in the industry. Why?because of the flexibility, they did get blocked in iran from weeks ago and are not working reliable but have patience, the lightway protocol is really flexible give them time to research the iran blocking technology that is being used after the protests and update the protocol. They are the pioneer and the most technology advanced in the vpn industry specially for countries like iran and China.

After the protests and right now express is actually unusable in iran, if china implement the same tech which they mostly do, express will be unusable in china and some other countries too.

But from what I’ve seen before, they’re going to adapt to this situation and update their apps(and lightway protocol) to combat this.

It’s always been a can and mouse game

آره دا منم همینم وصل میشه ولی خیلی packet loss و ping م زیاده :frowning: برای من فعلا Woolloomooloo بهتره از بقیش روی همراه اول و اخیرا مخابرات هرچند که اول اعتراضات خیلی سنگین فیلتر کرده بودن من یکی دو ماه اصن خاموش کردم نت خونرو ولی کلاً تعریفی نداره اونم. ولی از تلگرام v2ray گرفتم اون خوبه ولی.

Million dollar company spending loads of money on ads but their VPN doesn’t do what it promises. What a scam. I purchased an annual subscription for my family in Iran and when we need it the most, it doesn’t work. Maybe instead of spending money on ads, try to fix your VPN and do something productive that actually helps people.

Hey did anyone get a reliable work around? Almost every location on ExpressVPN is not working. If you are on PC or Laptop you can use some VPN browser extensions and add ons. Hoxx Proxy seems to work but it’s a bit slow compared to ExpressVPN.

It’s fast and secure.

For me it only works between 1am-9am.

It actually connects but it has package time out intervals every 4-5 sec . it connects but simply not working

It partly do, filtering here is so sophisticated but I assume there might be a way to backdoor it

It would be fine if I didn’t have to pay while I’m waiting. :man_shrugging::man_shrugging:

Express now work only partly in some specific network also not with full potential( hint : Not mci/mtn)

I have some wormholes , but cant give it away publicly (bc they are last resorts and Im super dependent to internet) but I give you some clue to follow.
Shadowsocks with Obsf plugins works fine.

Fair and logical. I don’t defend them, it’s just they had been really good but seems these days they are not at their best shape. Currently there is no vpn that works good in iran or China.

It’s strange, because I can still connect to some locations in express vpn, but at home on wifi (mobinet) maybe they are obfuscation servers? Anyways thanks heaps for the advice, I know where to go from here. :raising_hands:
