      Can’t speak for most of these places but I’m pretty doubtful in general.

      I have no idea what it means for VPNs to be restricted in Turkey for example… I use them almost every day. Personal, self hosted, commercial, corporate… Both using them while I’m in Turkey to get information from the outside and when I’m outside trying to get information from the inside.

      I’ve never had any issue using them. Like literally ever.

        In 2016, the Erdogan regime began blocking VPN services and Tor. Now Turkey is using deep packet inspection techniques, similar to China, to detect and block VPN and Tor traffic. 

        The use of a VPN connection in Turkey can also mark you out as a person of interest for law enforcement. Despite this, VPN usage in Turkey is quite widespread. 

        The website Turkey Blocks monitors internet censorship in Turkey.
