Intra

For folks looking to bypass these rudimentary DPI blocks, you don't really need a VPN. DoH + one of these should be enough On Windows: - GoodbyeDPI: https://github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI (https://ntc.party/c/community-software/goodbyedpi/8) On Mac / Linux: - GreenTunnel: https://github.com/SadeghHayeri/GreenTunnel (https://www.npmjs.com/package/green-tunnel) On Android: - Intra: https://github.com/jigsaw-code/intra (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.intra) - (I co-maintain this) Rethink DNS + Firewall: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.celzero.br...)

You don't need VPNs to bypass censorship blocks in India. Well, at least in my experience. Apps that manipulate TCP packets locally to break fingerprinting [0] like GoodbyeDPI (Windows) [1], GreenTunnel (cross platform CLI) [2], Intra (Android) [3] have been adequate.

OP was actually somewhat inaccurate when he said "Google's". Intra is actually by Jigsaw, a separate Alphabet subsidiary. The difference is significant as Alphabet companies, though closely tied to Google (e.g. Jigsaw's website is a Google subdomain), are run independently. Perhaps more important is that the project is also open source: https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/intra

This has been known forever, and it doesn't only affect websites. DNS over TLS has the same issue, and effectively gives more information to DNS providers than regular DNS. Which is why dnscrypt-proxy can disable session resumption for DoH, or can use a new key for each transaction when using the dnscrypt protocol. (Intra won't allow disabling it because apparently, users are idiots https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/Intra/issues/101 )

I've been using Intra with my own DoH server for months already. It's stable and updated regulary: https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/intra Also, if you're looking for a DoH server that block adverts, here is mine: https://dns.aaflalo.me/dns-query
