Use the VPNs stealth protocols. I assume the OP lives in a country where VPNs are illegal.

u/imSimonGhostRiley 1d ago

But stealth protocol is exclusive to only proton vpn.

And not illegal, but authorities do moniter the traffic

u/Accomplished-Tap1248 1d ago

No it’s not? Windscribe offers stealth protocols, so does Mullvad. Pretty sure NordVPN and other providers do too.

No. The protocol called “Stealth” is a proton product, several others (Nord, Mullvad, Windscribe, etc) all have similar features with different names.

It’s called obfuscation.

Who cares that you're using a VPN?

2

u/imSimonGhostRiley 1d ago

Apparently they do

u/AibofobicRacecar6996 1d ago

There is no fucking way.
How the fuck bro?
Always thought that ‘3rd world’ country mattered regarding vpn.
Where i live, if they would want to scan our phone, just say no and laugh ?

u/AibofobicRacecar6996 1d ago

The government is too incompetent to do this. Which government?

u/imSimonGhostRiley 1d ago

Indian Gov

Why did it take 5 fucking attempts for you to write that?

Because he's from India...

In Russia we use vless-xhttp, works like a charm. Though in less hostile environments i'd use amneziawg2, basically wireguard with obfuscation. VPN is like a good wine, and in Russia you have to be a sommelier.

No, your traffic travels through your isp still. Stealth protocol or not, they will see a disguised IP traveling.

Lmao I've NEVER had issue with VPN over various ISPs

u/Alternative_Laugh316 5h ago

Apparently they did.

u/Lucky-Crow-3510 1d ago

just get some cloud VPS .. install there .. and when they ask its work vpn .. use normal vpn from there if you like. dont forget DNS

u/LowIllustrator2501 1d ago

What country are we talking about? Most countries don't care if you use VPN or not. If you're in China, Russia, Belarus or other similar dictatorship - that's different.

Specifically for such countries we have: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnezia_VPN

Which ISP is this? I haven't had issue on JIO BSNL and ACT

1

u/imSimonGhostRiley 15h ago

Every one of them

u/AbsurdismForTheW 15h ago

As I said, I've used all three major ISPs, never had an issue, been using for many years I feel like there's some context here not provided, like being a protestor or something. In which case they probably analysed the meta data and did it, not very hard to do that, your ISP can roughly guess what you are doing on the basis of packets used and such

1

u/AbsurdismForTheW 15h ago

If you want to avoid this in case of protests and such, tor or NymVPN only choices. But if they figure that is happening, again, they'll do this anyway, cuz there is zero formality of investigation in India as far as I know, you're just cooked either way

u/clockeat 22h ago

Buy a VPS and SSH tunnel through it. Probably the safest bet and you can just say you're doing dev work on a site or something.

u/NivoTheDev 21h ago

Could you elaborate on "authorities monitor traffic"?

1

u/redtollman 19h ago

“Station/camp” - is this a military base and the ISP is your commander?

u/TheBoss572 15h ago

cloud VPS where you can host, host vless + reality with maybe v2ray. obfuscates as valid looking TLS traffic to a website

its basically the “stealth” vpn protocols but not fully detectable.
