I have recently been finding myself on a network (cellular) that blocks access to VPN. I have tried Wireguard on multiple ports using IVPN and Windscribe with no luck. Similarly tried OpenVPN and IKEv2.
I also tried using Windscribe’s “stealth” protocol and IVPN’s obfuscation protocol but again with no luck.
I refuse to rawdog the internet like that and was hoping to get advice on how to work around that nonsense.
I am on iOS if that matters.
Please name and shame your provider. I’d like to know which ones to avoid.
I am on a trip and using a local carrier in the country I am currently staying at, carrier is called Zain.
Usually openvpn via tls port 443 is the least blocked.

Honestly, this sounds like a job for Tor. Install Orbot, possibly enable a bridge, and you should be good to go. Onion Browser is recommended for use with Tor, but Safari will work just fine.
I have never tried calling over Tor, but I have never had an issue with the speed before (although it is inherently slower than a VPN).
Tor Bridge Types
- obfs4 makes your traffic appear “random”
- snowflake disguises your traffic as VoIP
- meek-azure makes it look like you’re connecting to Microsoft services
- meek-amazon makes it look like you’re connecting to AWS
- meek-google makes it look like you’re connecting to Google
Have you tried tailscale with an exit node? Could be worth a test, if it works, some combination of other providers might too
