how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm going to show you guys three vpns that are
perfectly functioning in censorship heavy countries such as russia or china so before
beginning if you guys are interested in any of these vpns you'll find links to special deals and
discounts in the description down below as well as full reviews if you'd like to learn more about
these vpns now recently russian president vladimir putin signed a bill that will prohibit the use of
virtual private networks in order to border their censorship efforts along with russia china has
also taken a stringent stand against the use of vpns it has ordered the country's three telecom
giants to restrict individuals from accessing vpns and it also had apple remove two major vpn
providers from the chinese market to meet the new regulations now i don't condone any illegal
activity and encourage you to read your own local laws in order to make sure that everything you're
doing is legal however there are still ways to access a vpn in restricted countries and it is
of course by using a vpn that is able to function in censorship-heavy countries now what you can do
with a nordvpn for example and private internet access unlike expressvpn you could actually
access expressvpn through the tor browser if you understand if you're in a censorship heavy country
so there's no worries there you don't have to use a let's say one of the free vpns um assuming that
some of the free vpns you could find a free vpn such as proton vpn an atlas vpn that would be my
recommendation for free vpns you could use these vpns in order to access the website of nordvpn
and private internet access and then you'll be able to download nordvpn and private internet
access and just a heads up the regular nordvpn application which is the one i have right now
will not work in censorship-heavy countries what you're going to need in a censorship-heavy country
is well a version that is given to you by nordvpn themselves they will email you that version of
nordvpn which looks exactly the same has the same feature same server same everything but it will
just be able to function in censorship-heavy countries and again as i stated earlier if the
private internet access or nordvpn websites are banned in your country and you don't want
to use free vpns in order to access these websites because the free versions of free vpns may not be
as secure as nord or private internet access you can just go to the tor version of expressvpn they
have a tor website and you'll be able to download it from there without having to use another vpn
so there are a few ways to bypass vpn blocks of course the best way is to just use a functional
vpn a vpn that is able to successfully bypass censorship firewalls such as expressvpn nordvpn
and private internet access you can run your own vpn server but that requires it knowledge
so if i wouldn't really advise attempting it if you don't have any it knowledge you can use the
tor network of course the tor network is another way you can just download the tor browser for free
and you'll be able to bypass these censorship firewalls of course i wouldn't recommend using
the tor browser without a vpn in the first place so if the expressvpn for example website is banned
you could just reach it through the tor browser and then download expressv vpn from there you
could change port numbers but here's the thing though expressvpn and nordvpn do not support uh
port forwarding or changing ports or anything like that you don't have that kind of options
but this is why i have private internet access it's one of those vpns that allow
extensive customization when it comes to uh connection preferences here with your protocol
of course you have the wire guard protocol but if you want to change ports because you've got
tcp port 80 and tcp port 443 these are the two most favorite ports uh you can definitely
choose which port here so here's 443 and 80. now tcp port 80 this port is used by http which is the
most widely used protocol for all internet traffic if this port is blocked then the entire internet
can be blocked so generally this port is never stalled however it is easy for dpi techniques to
identify vpn traffic that is using this port and then you have tcp port 443 and all the vpn traffic
on this port is routed through the tls encryption since https secures all secured websites
the banking and e-commerce operation are based on it if your vpn provider does not allow you
to change port numbers you can switch it with an easy edit in the open vpn and thankfully private
internet access is one of those vpns that allow you to change port numbers now of course you know
this is just an extra option that you could do you know with openvpn of course these port numbers are
only in tcp and openvpn udp you have other port numbers for the most part private primary access
will probably uh default you to 8080 or 53. these are the uh most used uh ports when it comes to udp
and of course with data encryption you could increase the encryption up to aes 256 rather
than aes 128 i usually put it at 128 because it's faster and if you ask me honestly i would just
use wire guard i'm not a censorship-heavy country so you could try using wireguard and a fire guard
doesn't work then you can go ahead and use openvpn udp and tcp and try to switch around the ports
however in expressvpn so i've already explained how you can get nordvpn to work of course if the
regular servers even with the version of nordvpn that works in censorship-heavy countries if the
regular servers are not connecting or you're just not able to connect to them you can use obfuscated
servers which will only work with openvpn tcp and we'll do here is well i usually use nord links and
uh if the nord links does not work or you're not able to connect to servers and assess your heavy
country just switch to openvpn tcp go to advanced turn the obfuscated servers on it will isolate
these servers and you'll only have access to these obfuscated servers which should be able to help
you to bypass censorship firewalls but more likely than not you're not going to need the obfuscated
servers here and you can just stick to nord links as long as you're using the version of norvpn that
works in censorship heavy countries which is provided by nordvpn just ask nordvpn for that
version through the live chat support and they'll give it to you they'll link it to you or email it
to you now if you're looking to save time and you don't want to go through any of that you don't
want to change ports you don't want to ask the vpn for a different version of that vpn you can
just go ahead and use expressvpn which is known to be one of the most if not the most reliable
vpn especially in china and it's also one of the only vpns that has a website on the tor browser so
they do have an onion website and uh yeah assuming that nordvpn and private internet access websites
are banned in your country you can just download expressvpn through the onion browser rather than
the regular browser where it could be banned and of course obfuscation is turned on by default
there's nothing you can turn on or off all you need to do is download expressvpn and it'll work
right away no matter what country you're in and with regards to security it is one of the
most secure vpns out there you know in 2017 the turkish government turkey is of course one of the
censorship-heavy countries so in 2017 the turkish government or authorities seized an express vpn
server and they were not able to extract anything out of expressvpn thanks to their solid and strict
no logs policy a true no logs policy really so that is you know besides the independent audits
that expressvpn went through which proved they're no longer policy that is a real life situation
where the null logs policy was put to the test and uh you know the integrity of the express vpn
privacy policy was proven uh right then and there so if you guys are interested in any of these vpns
you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the description down below and if you'd like
to learn more about any of these vpns you'll find the full reviews in the description as well
thank you guys very much for watching and i'll see you guys the next one have a wonderful day
