Re: [UPDATED]Cant Get Freedom In Internet (VPNs are not working)

You're using a browser extension that provides a VPN  - but only in the context of the browser.

Proton VPN isn’t working anymore

Proton on your computer (is there an error?), proton & discord or proton in turkey, https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comm … in_turkey/ ?
(I assume all of them are talking about https://protonvpn.com/free-vpn while as https://gizmodo.com/best-vpn/unblock-discord-turkey points out the free plans typically don't offer obfuscation)

he worried about real deal law breaking stuff

I doubt so - nobody takes "lagal" whims of criminal dictators all that serious, not even the other criminal dictators.

Re: [UPDATED]Cant Get Freedom In Internet (VPNs are not working)

The Proton VPN I was using was a paid service. So, it connects, but it doesn't even open Discord or other blocked sites.

So are you saying NordVPN will be the solution?

Re: [UPDATED]Cant Get Freedom In Internet (VPNs are not working)

I'm not saying anything - ask your government which VPNs they block

So, what is your WAN IP (w/o the browser specific VPN but Proton running) and what does dns leak tests say about your DNS?

84.252.114.5 Argentina
How to look up dns leak ? Google > dns leak test or a package needed ?

Re: [UPDATED]Cant Get Freedom In Internet (VPNs are not working)

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dns+leak+test but mainly check that "dig discord.com" comes back as 162.159.13?.??? because https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p2312830 shows it being resolved to your ISP (likely by your ISP's DNS)
Edit: you can also check that "dig @8.8.8.8 discord.com" returns a proper IP - if not, your ISP simply intercepts and manipulates #53 traffic and you'll have to use DoT/DoH (alternatively to using the VPN for DNS)

Re: [UPDATED]Cant Get Freedom In Internet (VPNs are not working)

OMG... I don't know what is happening. I moved to summer house. Which means another modem another ISP. Same PC and same Arch. Neither warp or Proton is working. wanip.org showing the exact and true location of mine. Not Argentina anymore.
And instead IP its showing something like ipv6 or mac address.

Without VPN; `dig @8.8.8.8 discord.com`

;; communications error to 8.8.8.8#53: connection refused
;; communications error to 8.8.8.8#53: connection refused
;; communications error to 8.8.8.8#53: connection refused

; <<>> DiG 9.20.30 <<>> @8.8.8.8 discord.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; no servers could be reached

Lets try this one; DoT/DoH (alternatively to using the VPN for DNS)

Re: [UPDATED]Cant Get Freedom In Internet (VPNs are not working)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … S_over_TLS but w/o VPN that's not gonna help much either (you'll be able to resolve the correct IP but not reach it)
