Freedom not working in Egypt

ahm3d

Could you confirm that Freedom is not working anymore inside Egypt? I tried a lot with almost all the servers (Milan, Espoo, Prague, ... etc) but it seem like Freedom couldn't make a connection. Maybe the Egyptian government blocked Freedom's servers.

Hi ahm3d,

 

Just to get more information on this: Do you see the connection issue with all the devices?

Have you tried a different network to see if the issue persists?

 

ahm3d

Yes, I tried.. the problem is still exist. Freedom cannot connect to the server.

Hi ahm3d,

 

Egyptian government blocks actively VPN products; they also have a long history with blocking access to, for example news sites not approved by the government. Unfortunately, our possibilities to affect this are limited.

@Stina52

I'm really sorry.
Are going to stay there for a long time?
Or is it only temporary?
I don't know anything about Egypt.
How careful has to be out there?
I hope, that you find other ways to sure your privacy ja security.

Good luck!

I think the problem in Egypt is that the DPI (i.e. Deep packet inspection) drops the packets during the handshake so Freedome cannot establish the connection successfully.. so, my question is: 

Is there any way to obfuscate the connection during the handshake? (i.e. Handshake Obfuscation)

It seems to me that Freedome doesn't have much custom settings (e.g. to configure it to connect through another VPN to bypass the DPI).
