I just installed the TOR browser on my laptop.

Gotta update my MAC but free VPN helped.  The weird part is that most of the vanilla world doesn’t know censorship on such a large scale has hit us here. Wow

When I told the ladies .... and they laugh at me....

Right now, it seems like more of the ladies have found their way back than the gents...

on Opera

Im not going anywhere!

OpenVPN has a free 7 day trial and is working flawlessly on all devices.  Super easy to install and it works by default with ease.  

Protonmail offers a VPN option with their paid email membership package.  FYI.  I've also used Private Internet Access.

without a VPN.  And this is since 2007 or so.  It's not like it's some mystery or new technology.  Everyone really should have been doing this from the beginning.  So 77k online doesn't surprise me at all.

When I’d tell them I have a friend in a foreign country airgap critical data for me😂👏🏼 Not looking so crazy now.

It will connect you through TOR.

Oh wow... I'm definitely going to have to help some of my local friends and ladies get set up so we don't lose touch.

...and its free.  I am posting now from New...  er... Amsterdam.  Yeah, thats right!  Amsterdam.  Thats what my IP addy says!

Phew...thought I was trapped behind the Great Wall of Censorship.

I dropped it because it was clunky & switched to Nord VPN on iPad & laptop. I'm told that TOR is not necessarily secure, since you can be intercepted at any node.
Still, TOR/onion are a good free option.

Lightening fast via Switzerland this morning

I’m surfing TER on my iPad in Massachusetts while vacationing in Sweden.

I installed the Onion browser on my iPad this morning and was able to get here very quickly... so far it’s free and connects here quickly but it’s far from perfect. For one thing. I tried to click on a providers site and was given a captcha test that I couldn’t get thru. I have no problem getting to that site from Firefox. So Onion is looking like a kludgy way to connect.
