Best VPN to get before going to Iran?

VPN

I’m going to Iran in September and I want to get a VPN to use on my tablet. Last time I went (2013/2014), I got EarthVPN, but I just couldn’t get it to work, even though it worked fine outside the country. I assume that the people in charge of the filters are also messing with VPN packets.

I’m not going to get one of the local VPNs available everywhere in Iran because I’ll be using an Android tablet, not a computer, and I wouldn’t want to install shady software on my device anyway.

So my question is: are there any international VPN providers whose services are known to work inside Iran?

Open VPN in combination with Ovpn Spider.

If you want to pay 5$ a month, download Surfeasy for Android. It unblocks everything.

For free, psiphon works pretty well most of the time.

Freegate and tor for pc

Is your tablet android?

Is it rooted?

How good are you with computers?

I have tried almost all of the android vpns and I like cyberghost and Betternet the most. I switch between them because all vpn apps run slow some of the times during the day based on what servers are available. Don’t waste your time with hotspot shield, vpn master, hola, surf easy, supervpn, surfeasy and tunnel bear.

Hola worked fine for me.

Private Tunnel is another pay service but both the phone app and the desktop app worked fine for me.

EarthVPN didn’t work because Iran blocks mainstream encryption tools using DPI. To bypass this, you need some kind of protocol obfuscation method that masks OpenVPN and makes it invisible to firewalls. Best VPN for Iran guide has a list of reliable providers that work there specifically because they trick DPI to believe you’re using regular connection.

Thanks. I saw that, but it looks like spammy or SEO content. Something tells me the author didn’t actually test those out in Iran.

Ovpn Spider.

Thanks. Have you tried this in Iran?

asking the right questions

Android (Nexus 7), will be rooted before I leave. I’m pretty good with computers (I run Linux and use the console every day).

I don’t know about Ovpn Spider but Open VPN doesn’t work anymore.

15

Yeah it works perfectly fine. You have to download both though.

Buy a cheap VPS. Use shadowsocks.
