AntiZapret-V2Ray VS wstunnel

For what it’s worth as well, there are other solutions than whole-network VPNs and such. Personally, I chose to generate a domain list for V2Ray from the Russian government’s blocklist when I lived there [1].

I prefer to do that typically because it avoids the pain of the ever-growing whitelists and it allows me to keep the traffic encrypted in case someone does actually figure out that you’ve bypassed DPI. And if you use something like V2Ray or ShadowSocks, they’ll disguise the traffic much better than something like OpenVPN typically would, making it less obvious to anyone monitoring that you’re using a proxy in the first place.

There’s a load of references and pre-generated lists for different needs if anyone else is interested in doing something similar [2].

wstunnel - Proxies over WebSockets. Focus on proxying from behind networks that block certain protocols. Written in Rust with executables provided.

Shameless plug, there is also wstunnel (i am its author) https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel/, hope you enjoy.

If you want to tunnel UDP (WireGuard) or TCP (SSH) over WebSocket protocol, check out https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel

While working in an environment where VPN connections were pretty much all blocked⁰ a friend of mine had success using https://guacamole.apache.org/ to access a remote machine¹. Not quite the same as a direct VPN connection but worth a try if nothing else functions, it looks enough like normal HTTPS traffic that he got away with it.

To keep your wireguard setup more as-is, you could try https://kirill888.github.io/notes/wireguard-via-websocket/ to tunnel that via a web server. In fact https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel which that uses could be used just as well with any other UDP based VPN.

I once tinkered with https://github.com/yarrick/iodine and successfully connected to resources over the wireless on a train, bypassing its traffic capture and sign-up requirement, so that might be an option, though I think fully blocking external DNS is more common now so this is less likely to work²³.

--

[0] practically only HTTP(S) permitted, not even SSH, DPI in use that detected just using SSH or OpenVPN over port 443

[1] NOTE: be careful breaching restrictions like this, you are at risk of an insta-sacking if discovered, or worse if operating in some securiry environments!

[2] and the latency when it does work is significant!

[3] and that much traffic over port 53 might get noticed by the heuristics of data exfiltration scanner, encouraging sysadmins to notice and implement a way to block it

You can try with this project, https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel.

There are projects out there (like this) which run wireguard traffic through websocket.
