So, for privacy and security reasons, I use a VPN. This is normally Mullvad (with DAITA and quantum resistance enabled), but I have ProtonVPN, Windscribe, and Orbot handy in case something doesn’t work.

However, lately I’ve noticed my connections being blocked. This is across three different ISPs: Sky, Virgin, and Wifinity. I have tried all three VPNs and Orbot, and I have tried several protocols (WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2, Stealth, and of course SOCKS5) to no avail.

The logical solution would be to use a bridge in Orbot, but the button seems to have been removed. Also, by using Orbot, I will not be protected by my DNS.

I am currently using iOS, but my other machines run Linux and I will be getting a GrapheneOS phone in the near future.

Can anyone help?

    Well, that would certainly explain where my mobile data went.

    I have three VPNs, one proxy, and one more VPN that I do not have an active subscription to but which I can pay for if the rest fail.

    As for ISPs, I have my parents’ WiFi, my grandma’s WiFi, and the WiFi in my student accommodation.

      Interesting

      Yeah DAITA is nice but at a high cost. Quantum resistant tunnels too but not so much.

      I noticed that on german reduced cell data I get 0 connection when having DAITA or even just Quantum resistant tunnel activated, so I needed to turn it off.
