"The internet blackout in Iran is now on its 35th consecutive day as connectivity flatlines at 1% of ordinary levels after 816 hours. The general public remain cut off from the world without vital updates and without a voice as the incident closes its fifth week."
"Iranian citizens have been employing several techniques to slip through the cracks of the regime's digital wall, which, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, was established for security reasons to protect the people."
"Reports state that some virtual private networks (VPNs) can still be used to reach outside the National Information Network (NIN), Iran's own digital intranet."
"The use of these tools can also put the lives of Iranians in danger, as the national authorities are cracking down on their use, even turning to check citizens' phones to review if these tools are installed."
The Iranian regime has imposed a near-total digital blockade for over 35 days, reducing internet connectivity to just 1%. Citizens face severe consequences, including punishment or death, for attempting to bypass this blockade. Despite the risks, some individuals are using VPNs and Tor's Snowflake feature to connect to the outside world. The regime claims the blockade is for security, but it effectively silences the public and cuts them off from vital information and communication.
